       With all the variables there are in our world, change is undoubtedly going to come. People come and go from our lives, companies make changes that affect people, our interests change over time, people can pass away, we grow old and cannot do what we used to do. Whatever you want to cite, all the variables make change enviable. Change is guaranteed, no matter who we are, and there is no escaping it. I spent a lot of time thinking about change in early 2020, and really trying to come to grips with the concept. It’s funny, because a couple months after contemplating change, the company I worked for announced they were moving my department to a different state. Ah change! Yup, certainly for me change was now occurring. Whether I went or not, there would be change. It wasn’t anyone’s fault, it’s just the way the world works. I ended up deciding not to accept the position in the different state and thus move. The problem for our minds comes when we decide to resist the change, or have a mindset of resistance in general toward change. This is something that has to be learned—the ability to accept change. It’s just that a lot of people haven’t cultivated this ability.
