Change

When is change welcomed? The majority of people would argue that change is uncomfortable and therefore unwelcome. Most people do not run toward change, but rather runaway. This - of course - is essentially a form of denial, as history has provided a myriad of examples suggesting that change is necessary, important and a vital function at all levels in society. If asked, a group of individuals would more than likely indicate they would prefer to progress and avoid any form of digression. However, when the winds of change come through, people seem to be inclined to complain about their particular lot in life and long for the "greener grass on the other side." It is our natural human disposition to follow this exact trend.
There is a positive side to this scenario. Life can be improved upon and there truly are greener pastures awaiting the disheartened and downtrodden. However, its important that individuals practice the art of self-improvement in whatever state life they find themselves in at the time. I suggest optimism, excitement, gratitude and hard work as the solution for this ailing problem, which seems to be plaguing a large segment of society. If there is ever an economic struggle attacking millions of people, you can bet the need for optimism is needed more than ever. This is the reason why I have decided to discuss this topic and to suggest ways to overcome fear and inhibitions. In closing, I encourage others to chime in and impart - his or her - opinions for positive change and the acceptance of the new.
