Change is Challenging

I am often amazed by people who are afraid of change and those who refuse to change. Change is scary, lets be honest. It is very challenging and can at times present an obstacle course for us. I find that when change takes place it releases those fears that we initially have in the beginning. Each year brings about change. People come and go, rules change, ideas and thoughts change. Change is necessary for growth. If we didn't change and refuse to change then we are hindering our growth and allowing ourselves to remain in a stale state. I am sadden when I work with individuals that have become so complacent that they won't change because they have gain a comfort with all that they know and love. Adults that refuse change and have children, are teaching them that one way is the only way. Adults with that mindset keep children in a box that eventually closing in on them as they get older. The world is big outside of the box. People and places present new ideas for us all. I am fortunate that even though I have always feared change, I have learned over the years to embrace it and process it. Change is challenging but the outcomes are always better than before and even if we can't see it then, we eventually learn that over time the change was necessary to make due difference in out lives.
