Change.....one word which immediately steers a variety of emotions in one's mind....excitement,apprehension,fear,restlessness....& so much more!
But,then its also probably the most universal phenomenon in our life.Change means moving on & 'Lack of change' implies stagnation,something highly undesirable.
People seeking variety in life as much as possible, are actually obsessed with density...ie "How much one can squash in into a life-span of 60-80 years"....in terms of experiences,learnings & takeaways.But,where do we take it to?....is there anything at all called 'After-life'?...It's doubtful....so all we are aware of is 'This Life'. Hence,reaffirming the thought "One lifetime,One chance"....Whatever one has to do...this is the time...drink upto the brim.
However,variety & seeking new experiences is as enticing as much it is challenging.It brings with it the baggage of fear of the unknown,& threats to the existing comfort levels,if any.Human beings are generally bound by status-quo,all we look for in life by default,is happiness & once we get hold of it in some form,its difficult to let go.But,then 'life is not a voyage just about sticking to one particular shore,not because we have live & loved enough there,but maybe for the sail flows better in another direction'.If this had not been true, then people with cushy jobs would not have taken the plunge to become entrepreneurs or writers or hitchhikers.The transition phase is tough actually,you lose your safety-valve,your schedule goes haywire & you get into a life of uncertainty.One struggles in such a phase,but comes out stronger.
To get something,one has to lose something & that's why it is said,"Today's pain is tomorrow's gain".
