Change

yea there are plenty of fish in the pond...so start learning how to stand out

A lot of people handle their lives in a way where they are afraid of change; they keep everything constant and traditional.

Wether this may be about culture, religion or just the brand of toothpaste you use, some people just feel comfortable with the fact that everything in their life will always be the same and they never take any risks by changing anything about that life.

They tend to cling on to their normal day to day things even more when they are under a lot of stress, trauma or any other extreme negative emotions.

However on the other side of the plate are the people who crave change, like myself and a lot of the people I’m surrounded with. 

With these people you have the need for constant change to keep them at ease, especially if they go through some really dramatic negative emotional experience or just any experience really.

Like as an example for me, if something amazing happens in my life I will change something big about my life to …. I guess even out the change sometimes? Not that I would even it out by doing something negative I mean as equally amazing to… I guess I don’t really know why it just always comes to mind to greet any event in my life with a big change.

This need for change also comes from my obsession with re creating and creating yourself into the person you want to be. So if the person I want me to turn out to is not meeting what I am doing on a day to day basis I will change the things I am doing to fit into the category I want to be in.

Change also lets people experience things they may not have experienced if they wanted everything to stay the same.

You could never have known you would like the colour red until you painted your whole room that colour out of boredom ( not that I have done that before) 

Or find a new long life friend if you hadn't joined that new club

Although I provided extremely feeble examples I really stand for change and honestly every once in a while out of boredom, frustration or delight I will change something drastic in or about my life. 

And if you’ve never done that before … try it, step out of that comfort zone you’ve kept yourself in and experience new things, because you can never know your full potential unless you test it. The more I change something about my life the more I have understood about myself, and how to shape the person I am today into what I want to be in the future. These things I could’ve never have done if I had stuck in the same house, with the same hair cut, with the same friends, and the same cloths, eating the same food everyday because that would only keep me in a little box, comfortable and maybe even successful, however only so much success can be gained that way until you stop because you don’t want to step out of that box to try new things.

So next time you see something and go like ‘ I would never do that ’ do it… and see how it goes :)

obviously make the things you are about to do reasonable…don't think about jumping out of an airplane without a pursuit …
