Change is scary

-

Sir,

Have you ever t hought of changing your environmen­t? If you don’t change your environmen­t, your environmen­t will change you.

We have been oriented into our environmen­ts in a way that it is hard to think about making a change. Whether you want t o change or not, change will occur.

Some people have been changed by situations that they have come across. Changing is a bit scary to others but it is something they ‘ must’ do. Every time you think of change, think of the challenges. Change al ways comes with challenges. In fact, we cannot avoid challenges. We encounter challenges in our daily lives. Even if we try to avoid them they will come.

Sometimes we see challenges comi ng our way and t hi nk s omeone i s against us. Life comes with its own challenges. Don’t fool yourself and think that challenges come with your enemy. When encounteri­ng challenges it is when our minds should be at their most sharpest.

Others have a c hi e ved bi g t hi ngs because they think big. If you don’t make the change you want, life will bring i t s own change. The sad part i s t h a t t h e c h a n g e t h a t l i f e b r i n g s will be negative. In short, we have to leave our comfort zones and look forward to new environmen­ts. Don’t hesitate to take a giant leap to another environmen­t.

Our greatest enemy is fear. Once we think of something new we begin to panic. Let’s just open up our minds and t hink differentl­y. The st r ategy t hat somebody used yesterday and succeeded does not mean it can work out for you. You just have to come up with your own strategy.

A choice is a choice because we have conflictin­g feelings to work through, ot herwise t here’s nothing t o t hi nk about! What’s comfortabl­e and what’s going to help us grow as a people are usually going to be at odds. Change is scary because you don’t want to fail but remember, anyone who has succeeded has said that failure was part of their journey. Failing won’t make you a failure. A good goal for us all is to live fully wherever we are in life.
