Inevitability of Change!

Life is a constant journey of change. It touches every aspect of our lives, whether we are ready for it or not. As the days go by, we witness the world around us transform. Buildings rise and fall, landscapes shift, and the people we interact with change as well. Change is an irresistible force. It shapes our world, our experiences, and, most importantly, ourselves.

This constant state of transition offers us new perspectives with every chance. Every person we meet and every experience we go through adds a layer to our understanding of the world. People come into our lives for various reasons, and each one leaves an imprint. Some people inspire us, lifting our spirits and helping us grow. They leave a positive impact that we carry with us.

Others might challenge us or even hurt us, leaving a negative impact. These experiences, while painful, are also valuable. They teach us resilience and strength. They force us to look at the world differently and to adapt. Regardless of the nature of these impacts, each moment shapes and molds us into who we are.

I often find myself resonating with Sheldon. Scared of change? Let me quote him.

Everything is changing, and it’s simply too much. I need to get away and think. – Sheldon

I sometimes wish for things to stay the same. The familiar is comforting; it feels safe. But can we truly avoid change? The answer is no. Change is a part of life that we cannot escape. It is relentless and ever-present, pushing us forward, whether we like it or not.

Today, I was visiting one of my friends. Possibly five or six years ago, I was passing by that street. This street had very few shops. It was quiet and almost forgotten. One thing I remember is that there wasn’t a big fancy bookstall. I always wish there was one.

Years later, upon returning, I found the street transformed. A bookstall that had a warm and inviting ambiance. They had good range of books (English and Tamil). This change was beautiful and unexpected. Let me share a picture.

We like to plan and control our lives. Obviously, the villain, the so called change, disrupts that control. But life is not meant to be static. It is dynamic and ever-changing. Our attempts to resist change often lead to more stress and anxiety. Instead, do we have any option ?

Yes. Accepting change. This might lead to personal growth and happiness. Okay Not happiness, at least mental peace. Lol.

No man steps on the same river twice, for he is not the same man, and the river is not the same. – Heraclitus

This resonates with both the river and the man. We are in a constant state of change. The river flows and shifts, just as we do with our experiences and growth. Each time we encounter something, we are different from the last time. Our perceptions have shifted, and our knowledge has expanded. Our experiences have deepened.

I am not saying that change is always pleasant. No, it is not, but it might lead us to something beautiful.

So, the next time you feel the familiar ground beneath your feet shift, take a deep breath. Remember that change is a force we can’t escape. But it’s also a force that can lead us to incredible destinations. Hoping!

The inevitability of change might be a universal constant. – Sheldon
