Fear of Change

_ “CHANGE” is such a powerful word.  Often when people hear the word Change, there is a high level of anxiety associated with it.  People are often afraid of the unknown.  What is the change?  How will the change affect me?  Why do I have to change?These are some of the questions that are often asked when the time for change arises.  Whether it is at work, at church, at school, or in our personal lives, change is inevitable. 

Since we know that things cannot remain the same forever, why do we constantly fear change?  What is it about change that scares us? Why does the word “CHANGE” automatically induce negative thoughts?  What will happen if we chose to look at Change in a positive light?  Is it possible that we would see that change can be empowering, enlightening, and even inspiring?  I believe that we should look at change as new opportunities.  Change can empower us to do things we always wanted to do (i.e. write a book, start a business, go back to school, etc).  It could also enlighten us by making us more aware of the things that are going on around us.  Change can even inspire us to help others or to improve a situation that appearesto be hopeless.

Change is nothing to fear.  It is very important to our growth as individuals.  As things and people in our lives change, we must learn to accept it and learn how to deal with it.  What are some things in your life that are keeping you from changing?  Why do you think you fear change?  How can you be more accepting of change?  Most importantly, what things in your life do you want to change?  How do you plan to go about making those changes?
