PLEASE CHANGE DO NOT COME AGAIN...

Change is inevitable. Change is always needed. Sometimes change is for good, or sometimes it is for worse. Is change always required? Do we always need to take the opportunity if it is allowing you to change your place or your job or your present stature?

Most of the people here will say, Hmm..it depends. Few will say change is always good as it gives you new opportunities and new ways to achieve your goals. For few it’s a way to follow their dreams. For few it’s just a change that is needed to come out their routine life and form a new routine by inculcating the change. Which one do you belong to?

If you ask me, I fall in the last category. I changed my location just because my life was monotonous. Now monotonous surely does not mean boring. My life was exciting as I was working on my next novel, I was going to office and enjoying working there, I had a routine and I loved it. I just loved my life. But then for me change was just a thought of coming out of my comfort zone.

Was it needed? Necessarily not…

What was the purpose of the change? Nothing specific; just thought of coming out of the comfort zone.

Why did I want to come out of the comfort zone? I don’t know. People said it is always good to explore new places.  

What were the factors I considered before opting for the change? Nothing as such. I just went with the flow and persuasion.

When I answer the above questions myself, I realize that I actually did not want the change. But I was just fascinated by the word change. As we all know change is exciting. You think you will altogether go into the new lifestyle and that is fascinating. Even when your life itself is complete, you look for change that is necessarily not needed at that point of time.

My mom always said, ‘we love when we know people around us. We love when we stay at the same place for years and are still happy’. She always told me change only if it is needed. But I never listened to her or my dad for that matter. I always told them ‘How can you stay at the same place for years and still not getting bored of life’. She always asked me back ‘what is the need when you have everything?’  

Today when I look back at my life I understand what she exactly meant. When you are happy why do you need a change?

Such a beautiful thought!

I realize now that I never needed a change, and I was happy where I was. But still I opted for change and now I want to go back to where I was.

With that I leave you guys with one thing:

Always ask yourself Why, why am I doing this? Before you want a change in your life always ask why do I need this?

What is it bringing in my life?  

If you get a satisfying answer then go ahead for the change. Or else the place where you are presently is a happy place too. Just turn a bit and look at your life again!
