Art of Living: Accepting Change
Change they say is the only constant in life. Then why is it that we find it so hard to adapt to it or accept it? It is so hard to explain as you move on in life and evolve along the path that you have changed and are happy with the person you are turning into when people around you don’t wish to see the positive energy the new attitude/outlook brings to you. All they want is to hold on to the memory/image of the person you were. They try their best to convince you that the “old you” was a much better persona. Maybe it’s just the habit we all have of wanting to hold onto to the familiar, the well known, the discomfort of trying to unlearn and start all over again, fear of discovering something you would rather not. All of us want the comfortable and known factors in our lives to maintain status quo without realizing that maybe a slight or radical change is needed to keep the boat from sinking or WD should I say, to keep the ship sailing
Anyway I wrote this because off late a lot of people have been telling me I have changed. All I want to say to them is, yes, I have changed for the better and Iam happier than ever before (No, it has nothing to do with any man, woman or animal, especially cows).I just feel more at peace and don’t feel the need to be an over the edge Type A personality driven by the philosophy of “dog eat dog” and “win the rat rate”. I am happier watching from the sidelines, laughing at the funny things in life, watching the sun rise and set, dreaming about having a child someday, learning to play the violin, thinking about my long term dream of visiting Venice and being serenaded by a violin playing, gondola plying guy (yuss, a guy it has to be with a big straw hat, no moustache, no beard n if he resembles George Clooney then maybe I will him kiss under the moonlight and come back for a ride again!). Call me what you may but Iam comfortable with me and I guess that’s all that matters. Change is good for all of us and we should encourage each other to realize our potential, evolve as an individual and reach higher levels of self consciousness
