Change: Accept it

There comes a time in everyone’s life when a relationship becomes stagnant or job is not challenging enough, or the city simply sucks! The indications are clear and straight. Time for a change. But how many of us have the courage and wisdom to accept what we are feeling and move on? My guess is quite few. We have become so habituated to our routine life that a mere thought of change sends shivers down our spines. We have got used to what is called the “Comfort Zone”. We get stuck in a relationship inspite of knowing the fact that it is giving us no happiness whatsoever, but we are afraid to move on, even if we move on the baggage is still there with us which affects our future relationships with others. We castigate our luck when change occurs without realizing a simple fact that change brings in with it seeds of a better tomorrow. We cry over so many things which we don’t have control over; only to laugh over same thing after some years that how could we behave in such a puerile manner.

Remember one thing; life is a journey in which change is inevitable. We cry when we lose our loved ones, we cry when our relationship goes awry, but do we realize that everyday some or the other changes are happening around us. We have bought nothing to this world and won’t take anything with us when we die. Do we mourn when we cut our hair, do we mourn when we cut our nails, do we mourn when certain cells in our body die. We don’t, because we know that new hair will grow, nails will grow again and new cells will be there. We cannot be a teenager throughout our life. Childhood gives way to youth, youth gives way to middle age and finally middle age gives way to old age and finally inexorable death finds everyone sooner or later. Change is necessary for a better tomorrow. Without change life becomes banal.

So tomorrow when you are stuck in a bad relationship or a job which is making you feel sick, remember you don’t loose anything or anyone because you don’t own anyone, because what thing is yours today was someone’ else’s yesterday and will be someone’s else’s tomorrow. So just move on and come out of that comfort zone because the future is waiting for you to accept you with open arms. So get started, keep rolling, because time does not wait for anyone and no matter what the “show” must go on.
