Small children refuse to accept changes. They cry
if they are taken to strange places. Changing houses is intolerable for them. They
yell to express their protest. It may take weeks for them to adjust and accommodate
with new circumstances.
Adults too feel the inconvenience and discomfort
of changes.
I am living in my fifth house in addition to
my parental house. Changing house is now a nightmare for me. It is such a
difficult task. Still I am planning to change my residence once again to
another house in a city.
Change is painful, discomfort, inconvenient
and the most unwanted happening in life.
Still change is necessary.
No progress is possible without change.
How adults face changes?
As I narrated above children yell out their
protest. They try hard to retreat to the old position. They cry until the new
circumstance becomes everyday life.
Adults agree that change is tough. But they do
not yell or protest.
They know that:
1.
Change is unavoidable since life is not an immovable
vehicle. So there is no sense in resisting or protesting.
2.
Change indeed is discomforting. Change is
always like that. Change includes giving up comforts.
3.
Change is the only possible means to better
the life. Change is quitting the present situation and moving into a different
one.
4.
Change is risk. Change is always a move into an
inexperienced realm. We have not heard, or known or experienced what wait for
us there. We make some calculations and move with a positive expectation. At the
same time change contains a lot of uncertainty. The situation may help us to
prosper or everything may turn the reverse.
5.
Every change is a precursor to another change
that follows. Permanency never leads to any change. Permanency is not a way; it
is the end of a path. Change is a way that leads to another change. Permanency
keeps you firm in your present situation while change takes you to new heavens.
Permanency is finite; change is infinite.
Adults feel the pain of change.
They face the reality of change. They
acknowledge all inconveniences as a part of change. They are realistic.
So they accommodate change into their life. They
turn the discomforts to comforts. They make new habits to go along with the
change.
They give up old habits, life styles, likes
and dislikes in a positive manner.
Adults know that only change can lift them to
new heights.
