I know most of us dream to achieve something in our lives, and hopefully stay at that moment for as long as we live. Some of us dream of owning a big house, some to be at the peak of their chosen career path, and others, eternal happiness with their loved ones.
And no matter what dreams they are, there are bound to be changes to the surroundings as well as to us that may not be in our control. And while we shall still strive to achieve that goal of ours, we maybe derailed. For those who have achieved it, they would want to stay in that comfort zone of theirs.
Who wouldn't want to stay in a comfort zone?
A place where we would just wake up everyday feeling contented with what we have and who we are in life. We feel satisfied and want nothing else.
But then again, nothing lasts forever. I'm sure for any1 who is in their comfort zone now, they wouldnt want to leave it for the world.
But what happens when change is forced upon us?
It is common for anyone in that situation to resist change. Why change when you are happy where you are? What could possibly be better than what I have now? And why do I have to go through all sorts of trouble just to find a place where I feel comfortable again?
Sometimes we ask too many questions, of ourselves and of others. It's human nature to be curious. And its also human nature to seek safety. When change happens, suddenly, we lose the feeling of being safe and secure. We feel lost, unwanted, directionless and we also feel frustrated.
Now, at this point, it is easy to be angry and find fault and find out the "why"s and "what went wrong?" and "how come?" of the situation. But even when we have found the answer after spending countless hours, we still are at the same spot. So now what?
After all these feeling and time wasted, we still are at the same spot after things have changed. And being in the same spot wont make things any better.
Then this is where different people will react differently.
Some would set off and find their safety and comfort zone again, moving along very soon [ the no hard feelings way].
Some would be still stuck at the same spot grumbling and complaining and hope that things will revert back to the way it was [the Emo way]. (I'm not saying which is right or wrong, after all in life, many things can happen).
Some are the combinations of both. But no matter which of the 3 steps you choose to use, the only thing different is that the time will not wait for you. You may move on, and there will still be a tomorrow. You may choose not to move at all and still, you will age. You may move reluctantly, and time will still go on.
No matter what, the situation which you felt safe and comfortable in and
TIME will move on.
Now its your choice.
Will you try to stop the earth from moving?
ORWill you move along with the Earth?
P.s. Even if you move reluctantly, slowly, painfully, regretfully, angrily and etc, you are still moving, and you must remember, even the Earth spins slowly. All you can do is hope, that as you move, you will still be able to find that dream of yours and hopefully stay there forever.
Boodyboy, out!!!
