CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT THING

“Change is the essence of life; be willing to surrender who you are for what you could become!”

It is said that whatever happens is for good. But when certain things happen that are not in our interest, we keep exaggerating that why it happened and wishing that everything should be as it was. This is a common human tendency that we don’t appreciate change although we know that change is the only constant thing. We travel back n forth in our imagination trying to evaluate what triggered such changes instead of using that time for making the particular change to work in our interest. Change is necessary for growth. Even stagnant water stinks after sometime, it has to flow so do we.

There are many reasons why people could not resist changes occurring in their lives among which the most common is the fear of what may happen also called as fear of unknown. The strategy an average man follows is to act in a direction with a known destination. Very few people are challenging enough to push their own boundaries and unleash a total new world of opportunities. The fear of failure makes them hate change even more. They simply want to stay where they are instead of entering into a world of uncertainty.

Another reason why most of the people dislike change is low self confidence of poor competence. During a transition, many things will change just for instance, if you migrate from one city to another, you have to understand their language in order to communicate well. Apart from looking for basic requirements you have to get used with the weather conditions and the environment around. At that point if you feel lost in the crowd or you feel that you stand no where you are definitely going to hate change since you are not competitive enough to exist in a new place.

We cling to something really fast and when the time comes to detach, we feel miserable and cast all blames on the change that occurred. But the truth is, change has to occur and change will occur whether we like it or not, because that is how it works. We take birth, we grow, then become young, after that adult and then old. Changes take place for our betterment and to mature us with time.

Instead of disliking change, one must endure it because we never know what it has for us. Future is unpredictable and that is the essence of it. Change is of similar kind. We don’t know what good it is for us until we experience the results. There is a plan hidden in everything that happens and we must be ready to welcome the untold journey. Even if it fails to make us reach our destination, still it will teach us a lesson for lifetime.
