I am the epitome of change: things that have changed around me
The only permanent thing in life is change. Change has become constant in life. In such a way that if nothing changes in your surroundings after some periods then it could therefore mean that something is wrong somewhere. The fear of every man should not only be that of failure but fear of stagnation. Stagnation is the absence of growth. Movement is required of everything in an ecosystem, especially those things that seem to be living. Movement of any kind whether positive or negative, so long as growth has taken place, it will signal that there is a life readily available.
Things that have changed around me
I am the first embodiment of change. I am transforming drastically into what I want my life to be. Physically, I am taking the shape of a mature man putting aside my youthful body structure that is prone to weakness, sickness, and frailty. Comparing my picture of the past 20 years to now, there are remarkable changes. One of the remarkable things is that I have grown beards and mustaches. This is evidence of growth.
Psychological and emotional changes
Another evidence of growth around me is that of emotions. How do I know this? My response to things around me is my evidence. Before now I was always worried about what people thought about me, putting my life at the mercy of people. Before I make any decision about my life, I must require the validity of the public and never was I able to make decisions and stand by them. But now, I own my life and I decide on what to do with it so long as it's a good thing to do. I'm not bothered about blackmail and I am not moved by what's happening around me.
Financial growth
For the past 20 years, I have grown financially. I am not where I used to be in terms of money and earnings. I earn big from different sources. Years ago, I was having issues with the payment of house rent, due to the non-availability of funds. I was paying a year's rent twice but today the story has changed.
Changes in knowledge
Just as I have added more academic certificates to my shelf, I have also added knowledge to my understanding. As a result of taking more courses to expand my horizon of knowledge, I have grown and expanded in other aspects of my life like finances. For the past 20 years, I have been able to bag a bachelor's degree, get many soft skills certificates, and knowledge gained through studying. One of the evidences of growth in knowledge is in my ability to address the public without fear like before.
Social engagement and interaction
Another angle of growth and change that I have noticed is in the area of social interactions and engagement. I happen to interact and associate less with people more than before. I select whom I interact with and I consciously draw up lines against those whose ideas seem matching with mine.
In all of this, I have experienced all-round growth and changes within my enclaves.
