Editor's Note: Our Alter Ego's 2nd Guest Blog Post. Authored by Mrs T.Gobin, one of my close chum's lovely Mom! :D I'm so so so overwhelmed that she took out time and wrote something down for us. We want to tell you Madam how much of a pleasure it was receiving this from you. Hopefully, teens visiting Our Alter Ego will take some inspiration away. (We added some pictures according to the theme to instigate those young minds to read.:D )
Ever so grateful Madam, Our Alter Ego.

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” ― Leo Tolstoy
Change is inevitable. Sometimes it is spontaneous, and sometimes people take much time in bringing changes in their life - simply because they are afraid to as they are used to their established norms, their ways of doing things, their habits and their culture.
“To innovate or evaporate” is the motto in our current world. A change in an individual’s life should be desirable and it should at no cost be forced upon someone. It should be viewed optimistically. Transformation should be for the benefit of the individual. Change is a choice that an individual makes either after a deep reflection over one’s attitude, behavior or bearing in mind what shall be the boons or how he shall benefit from it.
Change can be tangible or intangible. Physical alterations such as style, hairstyle, body language, walking, time to wake up, eating habits and so on make up the tangible part. Intangible changes are beliefs, philosophy of life. What the person thinks, how they perceive things in life, how they see the world, what their perception of good, being good and what is important to them in life.
Change should be holistic- doing good to you, bringing goodness, coolness, harmony in your life and catering for your inner needs.
The moment you want a change -after deep reflection or only after a single thought- you should go for it before you are caught into the whirlpool of a second thought dilemma!
A change is effective when you believe in it and also, it should be reachable. This adjustment should be appreciated by you first and then by others (your surroundings and family members) because what you want matters most. At the same time a change should not be too drastic to cause harm to oneself and to one’s beloved ones.
Instead your change should enliven, motivate, inspire others, bring charm and happiness, harmony to you and your family because you cannot be happy alone as a human being is a social animal. Consequently, while bringing a change you should cater for other’s happiness too, as your well-being lies in the welfare of your dear ones.
Therefore metamorphose, adjust, convert, modify, refine or whatever you want to call it. Get out this cozy cocoon of yours, open your wings and fly. You are meant to.
