It IS possible to change our lives for better. The hard part is knowing how to do it. If you are aware of that part of you that you want to let go, it makes it much easier to not let that part of you develop or take over in your life. Also support of friends can help immensely as well - whether they be in real life or on internet!

This is season of changes, and you need to BELIEVE that you can change your life for better. Be aware of your negative aspects, and actively try to stop them from developing. Focus on positive, and realize that as seasons change, so do we, as we mature and grow into people we wish to be.
