Change Comes Slowly

When you read the history about how people changed their lives, very little ever seemed to happen overnight. Women struggling for freedom have had to fight for decades, if not centuries, to get the changes they wanted in law and behavior.

But change does come. The vested interests, those people who want to keep things just (or unjust) as they are, have lots of money to spend in hiring lobbyists and supporters for their causes. All that those who are trampled underfoot have are time and energy. Over time, anyone who is willing to fight and hang in there can see change happen.

Time and energy. Faith and courage, too, are necessary if you are determined to make yourself heard and make a difference. We’re all fighting some hard battles, but I do believe that for those who have the commitment and the courage, the battles are well worth fighting. If you’re reading these words and nodding in agreement, the best of luck to you.
