Change

"Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk."
Leo Buscaglia

Many of us are frightened of change. We assume that change means that the things that we love in our lives will disappear and be replaced by things we don't like much. This is just an assumption. What it really boils down to is that your ego is scared of losing itself, since it is defined by those things that have been around you in the past. Your ego will do anything it can to keep itself intact, and to keep you the way you have been in the past. It is terrified of change because to the ego, change means death.

But there is another way to look at change. It may be that the things in our life that we hate will disappear and be replaced by things that we enjoy or love. That is equally likely to happen. Change is frequently a good thing. It indicates that we are growing and nothing is more exciting than that. At the very worst, it teaches us valuable skills for adapting and coping. At it's best, it opens up whole new worlds of exploration and growth for us. It can heal us of our dis-ease. It can give our life new meaning and new purpose. Change is definately worth the risk.
