Necessary change

To change. To become altered or modified. To become different.

This is not an easy path to take. Its likelihood will make one fear and be full of worry. It can paralyze the strongest person to take the first step. It will make the most courageous shudder with fear.

But it frightens me more to have a life that is not changing. I am more afraid of staying in the same place, the same situation, the same anything and everything.

I like change. It makes life interesting. Change brings variety. It colors life with different hues and sounds. It creates astonishing experiences. It teaches you. It makes you stronger and equips you to face greater challenges.

I do not want to wake up one day and be in the same situation I was three years ago. I dread to think that I could be the same person I was in my teen-age years. I would be dismayed to be doing the same thing over and over again for ten years or more.

They say that the only thing constant is change. True. But there are those who resist change. I am like that sometimes. But I realize, we can thrive more when there is change.

A warning, though. Change should always be for the better. Otherwise, resist it. It is no longer called change. It is stagnation.

Thank God, we can be changed! Come on, change! I welcome you.
