Change//Factors Responsible for Change in a Person's Life..

Hello Hive Fam👋👋!! welcome once again to my blog. I’m delighted to have you here again. Hope you are doing great? Today I want to share with you a topic Change and some factors that may be responsible for change in a person's life.

Change as we know is something that is constant in life and everything on earth at some point of existence will always change eventually. The world as we know was not the same way it was right from creation or just 10, 20 years ago. There was a transformation especially from different event of evolution that has taken place.

You reading this post now, you were not the same way you were years back. Changes occurred in maturity, body structure, sense of reasoning and many other physical, mentally, psychological aspect. Like I said, change occurred in literary everything on earth but my emphasis in on you and I as human.

Changes in human can either be physically, mentally psychologically etc. it is a transformation from one state or phase which could be in character, attitude, habit, way of life or career to another.

(Now)

Permit me to ask you this question? What kind of changes has transpire within you lately? Are you still the same person people used to know you to be or has something change within you. Is somethings not working properly around you and is a concern to you? Have your attitude, character or way of life change for good or for bad or vise versa??

I had a friend back then in secondary school, he was among the brilliants, smart students during our time and held position as a perfect in the school and an official in the Fellowship of Christian Students (FCS). We eventually got admission in the same higher institution but something happen. He went and entangled himself with wrong friends and companies that almost initiated him into cult group if not for the mercies of God. This brilliant bright student begins to struggle with his academic, barely had time for church again, always attending one party to the other and I was like what happen? Why the sudden change? This was someone with good character, godly behavior, serious minded with academics but suddenly became wayward, uninterested in academics, living a lifestyle that is unacceptable in the society. Later did I observe that the kind of friends he keeps actually influenced him. Thank God he graduated.

My question is what could actually be the cause of changes in a person’s life?
There are a couple of things that I think are responsible for changes in a person life.

Friends and Peers.” Show me your friend(s) and I may/will tell you who you are” is a popular saying in our society. The kind of friends you keep may have a way of influencing and affecting your life. For instance, you may not be a drunkard or a smoker but constantly associating yourself with people who drinks and smoke around will one-day lead to you joining them to start drinking and smoking. Even the bible said it that bad companies/association corrupt good manners. There are advices you get from friends that may change your life. Positive interaction with friends yield positive change in your life and a negative interaction and advice may yield negative changes in your life. The truth is, you may not be a bad person but as you keep associating with bad friends or peers you will begin to act like them.
The question is who are you friends or peers? Are people you called your friends having the same mindset as you? Are you visions and goals in life alike? Have those people you called you friends added value to your life positively or negatively. Are you okay with the kind of lifestyle they live. Not everyone you come in contact with is your friend, screen some people out of your life before they influence you. You won’t know when you will start acting like them if you continue associating with them. Choose who you associate with wisely.

Experience: Experience they say is the best teacher. Some experiences people have had in life may change their ways, lifestyle, perspective and the way they do things. For instance, someone who is not used to cheating or double dating before in a relationship but have had experiences with cheating partners, partners who double date and numerous heartbreak may decide to start cheating or double date in his/her next relationship, after all everyone cheats. Experience can change your mentally, it can make you matured in handling your emotions and situations properly but at the same time, it can alter some qualities in a you. Things you don't do before you may find yourself doing them now. You may notice that the way you do things now after some experiences you've had is quite different from the way you approach and do things before. My experience on heartbreak has definite alter the way I approach love and relationship now.

Environment: The kind of environment you find yourself in has a way of influencing your life. If you grew up in a noisy street life area like Lagos Nigeria where street life (as we call it here Gecto life) is part of literary everyone’s lifestyle in that axis and you eventually move or relocate of that axis to a calm and quiet environment or estate where everyone mind himself or herself, you may and will begin to change and adapt to the new environment.

Unpleasant Situations Unpleasant situations such as family problems can also influence a person and cause them to change. People can change from been good to practicing fraudulent activities in other to settle family problem.

Well!!! Whatever kind of condition that may be the cause of changes in a peoples life, do not let it compromise yours. Whatever situation that may occur in your life, do not let it affect your good character and attitude. If you want your society, your family, your friends to change, then let the change start with you. If you want to see things working properly in your life, change your approach. Change your mindset and mentally positively and you will see things working positively in your life.

Remain bless.
