Persuasion

Sometimes there are things that people randomly realize. Last night I had one of those moments. I was in the car driving home from an entertaining night at RAGE and I realized that no matter what I say (or anyone else says) you cannot change people's minds. The only person who can make the decision to change their mind or their behavior is themselves. When it comes down to it, all we can do is tell them how we feel and hope they take it to heart. Hope that what we say triggers something to make them want to change. In the end they are the sole dictator of their mind, body, and soul.

That reminds me, yesterday I was having a "catch up on things" lunch with a long time friend, and we got to talking about the future. Not really what is going to happen. Not exactly. I was telling her about my new philosophy. This philosophy is; to not worry about the future. I don't know what will happen tomorrow or next week. I have no idea how I will feel a month from now. The only things I have control over (for the future) is my education, and my body. There is no use in worrying about the future. All I need to care about is what is happening now and how I am feeling right now.
