Change

Change is a part of life. Although we are aware of this fundamental truth, we somehow refuse to accept it. Why is it so difficult for us to accept something new? We are so used to the old order of things we refuse to believe that a new order might actually be beneficial for us.

Let us first analyze the meaning of the word change. It is the course of accepting and becoming different. Confusing? Well yes! Change also refers to Social Change which is a modification in society’s social order. However we are concerned with Personal development. This is all the more important if it is perceived as a personally life-changing aspect.

Change is an integral element of life. Without it, our life becomes monotonous, lacklustre, repetitive & distasteful. How many of us can happily go through the tasks of everyday life without feeling even a wee bit irritated at times?

Change is essential for our development. If we analyze it scrupulously lots of changes occur throughout our life. It’s as if we are enacting different roles…as Shakespeare stated…

All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts.

Yes we do play different parts in the course of our existence. From an infant to a whining school-boy to the doleful lover! We enact different roles…a child, an adolescent, a young man or woman, a wife, a mother…..we have different roles to play in the course of life. Throughout all these roles only one factor remains constant: change.

I firmly believe that change is an essential part of life whether we accept it or not. Without it we wither, decay and die a hundred times before our death. Accept change and move on in life. Don’t dwell on past mistakes. We’ve all been there & done that! Change is a beautiful part of life. So, live out the roles you were meant to play and lead a happy, fulfilled life.
