To Give Up Who You Are

“In order to change, you have to be willing to give up who you are” –Salma Hayek

I’ve said that to myself so many times in the years since I’ve read that interview that I may have changed the wording a little, unintentionally, in making it my own. But it was something very close, and certainly to that effect, that Salma Hayek was quoted as saying in some women’s magazine that I happened to read on break at work or in a doctor’s waiting room. I think those are very wise words, and with them Ms. Hayek really put her finger right on the reason that I, for one, struggle with change. MUCH more on that later.
