Challenging Change

The wise words "change is constant" is something that is often heard. It's something that is easy to agree with but hard to do. When someone needs a change, its simple to nod heads and say that that person needs to do something about their attitude or decisions.

But secretly, its something we hate. Let's face it, change can be so sudden, so surprising that it takes us off guard. And who would like that? Whether its moving houses, getting in/ out of a relationship, switching Cornflakes for Weetabix for breakfast...change is pretty much abhorred.

So, unbeknown to ourselves, we try to keep things as intact as possible. We would think twice before getting a new haircut and thrice before cutting back on sleep or sharpening our time management skills or doing sit-ups. :P

Change is like cod liver oil. It tastes horrible but it may do you good. Sometimes even when the change is bad and you think that your world is crumbling around you it makes you tougher and more immune to things. Of course, we'd have to use our discretion and sift out the good, absorb it and dispose the bad.

It may come like a train crash, it may come as a soft breeze in the wind. If we don't change, then we can't learn. If we can't learn, we can't improve. If we can't improve, then we'd be our boring old selves. And that just plain sad..
