Choices tend to change, over time.
When considering choice, there's want and need
In addition to want and need
There's bound, decide and not ... let me explain ...
Choices we want to make are yearned for but depend upon readiness
Choices we need to make are necessary for survival.
Choices we feel bound to make are dictated by the needs of others
Choices we consciously decide not to make are determined by fear of loss
It's true that
When considering
Choices we want to make but decide not to make
A strong line of self control may be required
During times of personal growth, choices narrow or expand.
Each time instinct readies a person to move through a growth spurt
Old patterns, which had once felt comfortable, natural and healthy
Process through stages of change, which may prove uncomfortable, all around
During and after each growth spurt, we may think not to know each other, as before
This is one reason why change can be hard to accept, all around
Each time instinct propels me to work through a growth spurt
I foes on developing healthy thought patterns, which expand my comfort zones
If my choices, comfort zones and trains of thought change
While your mind sets and comfort zones remain the same
Then choices, which allow me to grow free of yesterday's constraints
May feel stressful or threatening to you.
As it's common
For new schools of thought
To ruffle the status quo
Changing mind sets may cause family ties to unravel
Since its always darkest before the dawn
My sense of hope is encouraged by this fact:
A new day dawns
Every day
So if you feel less than pleased with my choices
And if I feel displeased with your reactions
Then guess what else changes ... but not for the better?
The positive way we had once viewed each other
If two people want to create new bonds of friendship
Both need to understand why their old comfort zone disappeared
Once two people consider need for positive readjustment on both sides
Negatively focused views switch toward optimism
As optimistic attitudes
Shape up
On both sides
Positive change
Ensues for all concerned
