Are you talking about changing yourself, or the world around you?

I assume yourself because I've been there and know exactly what you're talking about. What I've found is you can't and shouldn't try to force yourself to change for the sake of changing. The idea that 'Things will be better if I just do this' doesn't work for anything truly deep. You can change your habits (ie if you smoke, or are lazy, or unreliable... things you are NONE of) and whatnot, but you can't force yourself to change yourself. Your core.

That happens by itself.

However, you can't try to STOP yourself from changing because it is frightening. It is a natural thing.. you grow and evolve. Don't hold it back because you are afraid of what you might become. You're a good dude and nothing bad is going to come from your natural growth. You determine the path you want to walk on, God will guide you through it so long as you let him.
