Change

Why is change so hard?

Don’t we always grow and learn from change? Isn’t it the one constant in our lives? Shouldn’t we welcome change instead of fear it? Why does our heart resist when our brain knows it is essential for growth? Change is imminent and it is the only thing I am certain of in this world. Nothing is static and nothing stays the same.

Why then, is it so difficult to adjust to and accept change? Not only when it is thrust upon us, but also a choice one makes consciously. More often than not, when we listen to our instincts and honour them, the change that ensues from these leaps are positive ones. Changes that (in retrospect) are necessary to grow.

I have thought about his pattern before. Questioning myself when confronted with change. My brain knows it is necessary, but it seems to take an extra long pause before the rest of me catches up.
