Change is the only constant thing in life

As clique as that sounds……Everyone must have read this sentence some where or the other ……But these 8 tiny simple words egged me into writing my 2nd Post ….

Today I went through an article in the Sunday times Editorial which Talked about the same thing….. “Change is the only constant thing in life”

Change can either be positive or negative, it all depends on the context in which you see it …Talking about a positive change, change might replace a primitive thing with something new; negatively it would mean change in one’s values.

Principles(which are the basis of one’s values) I think aren’t built up overnight, it a part of our upbringing & surroundings in which we are brought up…It’s the way we program our mind to think in a particular direction ……But then Principles as they literally mean “A rule of conduct” should be the same for entire life …..Or is it that I can change them the way I want it …..I think ideally even though they change the previous thought line, the changed thought process should some where hold a common ground else it would amount to change in your values……..

So does change in one’s behavior pattern leads to change in one’s values…I strongly believe that it doesn’t & ideally it shouldn’t...

When I look at myself & analyze my behavior over the years…. I can say it loud and clear that I have changed a lot …..From being a naïve child as everyone is …to having some rigid thoughts in my early 16….and trying to be a thorough gentleman in my early 20’s……

I have a few friends complaining about me that I am not how I used to be ……This gets me into thinking that I suppose today no one is the way he was 10 years back …..Right?

And the Primary reason that behavior of a person changes is due to changes in the surroundings around us ….They force everyone to change….We are confronted by Life with series of obstacles around us, we solve these problems move ahead little do we realize that we approached the problem in a different way & that’s the magic of “Change”…….

It compels you to solve problems differently …with different line of thought, with different attitude ….with different approach….thereby changing the whole dynamics around a particular problem …….

Finally to end with i would say Try not to be in a comfort zone …accept new things & thoughts with open arms as long as they don’t challenge the values on which you have grew upon ……………………………
