A couple years ago, there was no one who hated change more than I did. I was so happy and content with the way my life was and didn't want anything to change. I mean, I had worked so hard to get to be where I was, shouldn't I be able to enjoy it? Unfortunately, being content turned into being complacent. The relationships I had with people, my views, opinions, and values on life- everything basically stayed the same and I was okay with that.
I realize now that this wasn't the best situation for me to be in, for anyone to be in, and at the time, I was blinded from the reality that change is inevitable, and in many cases a good thing. I gotta say that learning this has made a huge impact on my life- I can stop wasting energy on trying to keep things the same and concentrate on adjusting to the changes that come with life.
Adjusting to different situations isn't by any means an easy task. When our lives take a turn, we have to turn with them- we need to adapt, or we will be left behind. Life is a fairly consistent flow of events and choices to be made. I say "fairly consistent" because, as we know, sometimes our lives can change drastically. Either way, we must accept the changes that life brings us and make the necessary adjustments to the best of our abilities.
As I sit here writing, I'm not going to lie and say that I like change. However, I accept it and even welcome it. Without change, without adjustments- there is no growth. Try to think back to who you were four years ago, or even two years ago. Are you the same? I would guess that most of us would say no. We've adjusted our values and opinions and have created new relationships with people we didn't even know existed years ago; I would hope that we now are better people for it.
Change is certain and adjustments are essential. Because of this, we are all able to grow.
