Change, The destroyer and creator of who we are.

You think Pebble wants to become a Boulder? I don't think so, it is content with being pebble and is glad to serve its task in life whatever that might be, why do we have to have such high expectations? Why can't we just be content with being our self, in reality we will never be the boulder we seek to be as we cannot change who we are we can merely create an illusion of being the boulder. We should be content with our lives and grateful for what we have and have been given.
We should not be afraid to be our self either, Being yourself sets you apart, makes you a separate pebble, sets you apart from the group, in reality it casts you out of the waters of Illusion and sets you apart from the pretenders, it takes you away from the water that erodes away at the lively hood of those who pretend to be what they are not, it sets you away to be an example so those still in the water of illusion can have a goal to achieve, so that they might have an example of what to try for. Be the lone pebble cast out of the waters of illusion and understand that being you in life is its own reward. We should not fear "Will he/she like me?" But we should fear "If I try to impress him/her in 10 years down the line I might realize I'm not that person, and even worse, he/she might realize it and I will lose all that I have striven for and tried to achieve in life". Be yourself, Accept who you are and be great full for being who you are.
