My Son,

Here is your work:

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.
-Mary Engelbreit

The anxiety of change comes from the desire to change others instead of yourself. An autumn leaf looks inside itself and makes a real physical change revealing its unique color, pattern, and beauty. It cannot change anything but itself.

I have heard you say, My son, “In a perfect world everything would bend to my will.” But I say to you that in a perfect world every will would bend to another. That is love. 

Love yourself, by loving those around you. Forgive youself by forgiving those around you. Understand yourself by understanding those around you. Be youself by being those around you. 

Change yourself and you will change those around you.

I love you My son.
