Acceptance

I have heard some people brag about being the product of their environment like it is some sort of a badge of honor. Most of us have been dealt with bad cards one time or the other in this planet called Earth, but the most miserable ones are the people who still dwell in the same spot they were first discovered, waiting for some transformation  The closest place to victory is outside the little box. Getting out will take little baby steps of faith. But to move out of the box, one must acknowledge that the present place cannot change and accept it as that. Only the person that wants to change have to evolve but not the environment. Your old friends cannot understand your new goals. In an old town, only a sojourner can only bring new ideas . This is what Jesus meant when he said a prophet is never welcome in his hometown.  The environment will never change by itself. You have to accept it but not embrace it. You have to let it bend you but not to break you. Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Jesus did.
