Mere A Six-Letter Word?

  C-H-A-N-G-E

This six-letter word could be blessing for someone, and life destroying for someone else. For someone it could be ray of hope, for another it could just be an awful disease. 

Is change really for good?

Such a hypothetical question!!

For some people change is still the alien conundrum.

But for me it really isn't. Because I have seen change happening in front of my eyes, I have seen myself getting drenched in change, eagerly waiting for it, absorbing in it, crying through it, smiling in it, Feeling stupefied because of it, and in every other manner possible.

Change according to me is always for better, whether initially apparent or not. It has to be like that. 

Because, there are few things, which are not under our control. People change because times do, because situations do, and choices do. There were times when we laughed together and promised each other that this would remain that way forever. Thinking about that promise now gives me a good laugh and makes me wonder..........Is Forever so Little?

We laughed like child, now we are somber like adults.

We shared so many secrets, now we are little surreptitious.

We lived there, now we live somewhere else.

We liked that, now we like something else.

We believed in something, now we just don't.

Because it is 'Now' not 'then'. Because we have grown up, and we now know that change is unrestrained.  You can't be stiff, if you are, you will have to face many problems in life, you won't simply accept anything and will end up making yourself suffer every second.

·   Accept change because it is for 'You', It is designed for ‘You’

It is hard to believe but it is 'truth'. I have seen people who are castigated severely for something they haven't done, they are even put in jail, and when their retribution comes to an end, they are much more responsible persons than before, Initially they feel largely discontent, but when they accept everything they find 'sense' in it. These people when retrospect, they feel thankful for it, they feel it was important to go through that, because without that they wouldn't have felt what they are feeling today. They understand 'Freedom' in a more elaborated way than they ever did and that ultimately puts them at ease.

Situations can't remain static for long time, they change and with them everything changes too. Yes! That place where we use to play at some juncture, it is no more, Now there is huge building over that place. Why? Change. We were best of the friends once, and now none out of the two knows the other one exists, Why? Change. I was under-confident before, I am luxuriantly confident at present. Why? Change. I was doing X job back then and doing Y job currently. Why? Change.

It is part of everyone's life but very few people realize it, and fewer comprehend it and even fewer are happy with it.

Change is never for Worse, it is for Better.

Life will give you 10 things, you will relish them, it would take away 8 things back, you realize the value of them, you will work hard to get them back, and in the process you will see they are not important, your choices shifted, so your perception changed, so your priorities changed. And ultimately, you changed.

The point is if you think change is unfair, change your way of thinking for change first. Because if something is withdrawn, other something is coming your way. If someone goes from your life, someone else will come. You missed something, it was destined that way, you will have another opportunity, you are lonely, you are learning thousand things in this very time. You are feeling drowsy, you realize value of sound sleep, you were opulent and now needy, you now know true value of 'Money'.

Anything negative? I don't see it. 

 All I see in change is 'learning'. 

                              Don't fight change, embrace it…

Right now the time that you are having is the only time you are having, there won't be something like it ever again, get up and go to the places where you have always wished to go, Forgive people with whom you always have had grudges, Welcome change. They can't fulfill your every tiny expectation, nobody can. Accept them the way they are, you have something in this moment and in a jiffy you may lose it, so savor it before it goes, Nothing is permanent, enjoy the present, live in it, and at the same time, Revel in change

Childhood will never come back, School days will never return, Times would shift, People would change, choices will alter, situations will vary, Life would twist, all you have now is time that is running out, so make the most of it, you will have no regrets if you follow your heart.

You will always find yourself hugging the change, and the change will hug you back too
