When we were young, changes seemed exciting, such as moving into a new house, or going to a new school or even wearing a new dress. The curiosity to explore and discover and finding anything new was understandable.
But as we grow up, whatever image we have created in the mind remains fixed. When there is a change and the image begins to shake, the insecurity prevents us from accepting these changes. We refuse to shirk off the images already created in our mind.
Some changes are most welcome like marriages, when a dating couple decide to get married or a baby born in the family. Some changes are upsetting like when there are separations in the family, or loss of a life in the family. Whatever changes they may be, very few have the mindset of accepting these challenging changes.
Why are changes so scary? It is because of the chaos in the mind to accept the new and discard the old image, which we have already created in the mind. It is the transition zone when important decisions have to be made. This is the stage when most people quit, or revert back to old thinking refusing to accept the challenges, which one has to face during these changes.
Sometimes we are fed up of monotony and want changes. We create expectations only to realize
that we may be back to square one. This defeat stops us from facing changes in future.
When we are on a job or own a company, we may have to face the stagnancy at one stage. The aggressive competition forces us to bring about changes, which might involve risks. Setting off in new directions is not an option but a must. In a quest for consistency, we automatically opt for these risky changes.
Some might be planners who are ready to accept these changes as they already foresee what they have to face in future and get ready for it while some might be people who act first and think later.
Whatever may be the situations, we should accept that changes in life are inevitable and with life posing so many untoward situations, we have to face these changes with extreme confidence in order to grab the opportunities boldly and with confidence.
Changes aren’t cheap, seamless or risk-free. Indeed, some changes inevitably will fail, forcing some degree of retrenchment. It's equally obvious, though, that change must happen!
Then what is the correct response to change? Understand that in reality nothing in life is fixed. All things change and everything in life passes! Being able to identify and understand the many experiences involved in change can make it less intimidating and make us face them boldly.
