Although most change is resisted, the reason why is because it’s not understood that it’s needed. If you like chocolate you wouldn’t want to eat it every single day at every meal. Change has to be, but the resistance to it doesn’t have to. Make this the day that change doesn’t hold you back. See it as the opening of door to get you unstuck from the complacency of what’s familiar. Let’s face nobody really changes unless they’re forced to. The mind loves the familiar, even if the familiar isn’t the most advantageous to one’s life. I see it all the time in the responses to my articles. All my articles do is provide another way to look at things, but many times they’re just discounted for what a person has in place. I lived a conditioned existence for many years so I know what I’m talking about. Not many people truly understand their conditioning so when something new is presented, the resistance to change rears its ugly head and as it’s discounted, one remains locked in their conditioning.
Change is a natural occurrence of life, it happens constantly, consciously and unconsciously, but what’s not grasped is although the mind is conditioned to hold onto the familiar, change is needed to grow. For years I was stuck in familiar mind patterns that didn’t allow change to take place. Even when it looked as though change did happen, it was only on the surface level. Surface change is a society measurement and it’s mostly a facade, inner change is a transformation and can’t be measured. When one can truly be present for change that’s of the heart, all resistance falls away because it’s understood change provides growth and growth allows freedom.
