Really, why do we have to change?

In fact, you really don't have to change as you will change anyway.

Backwards or forwards, change has happened in the whole human history. Ironically then, change is the only constant you have in this world.

As soon as you are born, you start changing. Wait!! That's wrong - you started changing MUCH before you were born. And if you believe in reincarnation, then it is MUCH MUCH before that.

So, why to make effort in changing, really?

Many years ago, I have received a story. It touched my heart so much... but there is a point from that story which was safely kept in my memory: the point when Rose explains about the difference between get older and get more mature.

And that same principle applies to change, and change processes: you can just enjoy the changes that come to you, or you can be the change yourself. Which of them do you prefer?

Be careful with your answer! If you prefer to just enjoy the changes that come, your experience will be:

• Predictable. You will know beforehand what will really happen.
• Carefree. You won't need to worry about anything, just enjoy the changes coming.
• Struggling. Because many times you won't experience the change you LIKE, but only the change that comes.

However, if you are the change yourself, your experience will be:

• Adventurous. ANYTHING can happen, but it all depends on you to start it up.
• Exciting. Because you are the one generating the change, it won't turn into a worry, but a fascinating learning experience, even when you don't like it.
• Winning. When you are the change, then you will always win, no matter the results.

Now, both have advantages (although I probably just mentioned them in the second one...) and you are the one who has to decide on what to do.

What do you want to do: just lie in a bed and wait until you are older, or go there and get more experiences, becoming mature?

I would like to hear from you, write your comments, I promise I will respond to them. Take care, Marcelo
