I love that old song by The Scorpions from 1990. I can almost hear the whistling now, can you? It reflected a very real set of changes I was facing at that time. Leaving high school, deciding on college or the workforce, career path, finding a girlfriend (my wife can attest to that one) and the list can go on.
Change.
It it inevitable, it is often for the best, and it can be difficult to deal with at the beginning, yet it doesn't have to be scary. Change really, is just moving from one place to another - emotionally, spiritually, or physically. It's the moving part that is the hardest to cope with from my perspective. Fear of the unknown is one of humanity's greatest obstacles to overcome. What exactly is waiting around the comer? Will I lose what I have? Will my new situation afford me the same luxury I've grown accustomed to?
Ah... I think I've hit a nerve! The comfort factor. Yes, we are creatures of comfort and really do not like to be disturbed. I can understand that, especially when it's cold outside, and that thick, warm comforter is telling you to stay put. But what if we never moved from our current location and just decided to stay in bed? Besides obviously making an eventual mess of your bed and yourself, there would be no warm shower, no smiles from the outside world to greet you, ......no leaving high school, no finding your career, and no finding your soulmate.
Change is not always comfortable at first, but you will adapt - until the next set of changes comes along.
Can you hear the winds of change calling your name?
