Why Change Is So Difficult

In the end, it could turn out better than ever imagined.

I think it's not too far off to say that we have all experienced our fair share of change. Some people like change, or rather, like good change. Why is change so difficult for everyone else then?


We get stuck in our daily routines.

Everything that has been happening lately is stuff that we're used to, but throw in one small change and we feel as though our world has been turned upside-down.

We never look far enough into the future outcome (that could be better than the way things are now).

The way we do our life is the way we like it and we don't want anything to change that. Could it be possible that a change, big or small, could actually improve the way we are living life now?

Surprise.

The outcome was something completely unexpected. It could have been worse than you ever imagined, but it happened. It could all work out for the better too. Whatever the surprising outcome is, it will all be fine in the end.

We can't change change.

No matter how much we hate it, it is already done and over with. We can't change whatever changed. We can try to change ourselves by learning to cope with it.


We just to need to adapt to our new circumstances. It sounds simple, and believe me, I know it's not, but the only course of action we can take with change is just to take it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
