Afraid of Change?

Change is inevitable. There's no way to avoid change. We change hairstyles, jobs, careers, homes; we change our minds, our cars, we change direction, etc. Life is full of changes.

Change can be negative and/or positive. We can welcome change or we can fear change. What matters is how we handle or accept the changes. Do you stay in a job you don't like because your afraid to start over? Or maybe you don't want to learn anything new? Do you stay in a relationship because you don't want to be alone?

We all have choices. You can decide to fight the changes, which can lead to stress, unhappiness, etc., or you can decide to face the changes head-on. You can appreciate that eventually all changes are for the good (long term). We may not understand the relevancy or the need for the change, however, in the long run, the changes could have a direct impact on our happiness.

At times, there's no denying the difficulty some changes can bring. We fret over school tuitions, making our mortgage payments, the cost of food and gas. We hope that whatever changes come our way won't negatively affect our lifestyles.

Stepping into the changes positively is the correct approach. With a little bit of "tweaking" we can adjust our perception of changes. Change is inevitable. Grab hold of the steering wheel and set your course for happiness.
