The Constant Change…


Someone rightly quoted - "The only thing Constant in the world is Change"
Everything we see, we do, and everywhere we go, there are changes. Change remains the fundamental truth in every aspect of human existence.

Journey of change begins as a toddler, when you desperately learn to walk and it continues for entire life. Few years down the line your vocabulary count grows to hundred and than the rate of changes accelerates exponentially.

From kinder garden -> School -> College -> Professional life, every part of transition is carried through changes and apparently in parallel, personal life adapt to those changes.

But as you move ahead in life, slowly you start developing the fundamental attitude of resisting the changes. Pragmatically, neither part of the change pose as much discomfort as the change itself. However, it is the sense of living in the Comfort Zone that makes thing scariest, when things suddenly change for a person.

In terms of economics one can use the opportunity cost to decide whether to accept or reject the changes, but in life no one gets the chance to do so;  changes are inevitable.

Sometimes you even feel the need to get hurt to realize to the change for the betterment of life, but guess what!
With all these changes, the only thing which remains is you and yourself.

Life with its sweet facade may crumble as changes happen and it may crumble you too if you don't handle the transition smoothly.

Life is too precious a gift to be wasted in any form and you can't enjoy the gift if you become impervious to changes.

Let’s welcome the change as we do to Sunrise and salute it the way Kalidas did with his awesome words:

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!!
