Change

Hello and eku deede iwoyi o!
I will like to talk about the change I mentioned briefly in the last post. As we are experiencing changes everywhere and in every area of life. Change is hard for everyone. A novelist once said that “the only person who likes change is a wet baby” Truly truly, change is one of the greatest attitude obstacles you`ll ever face. Whereas there is no progress without change. There could neither be a growth nor achievement without change. Now, this is practical, if you have a young growing girl and you live together closely, you will understand what I mean that that beautiful grown up you see or dated came with some pain. Yet we resist change. One of the reasons people resist change is because of personal loss. Or simply put selfishness. Take for an example, what runs through your mind when a coworker told you there is about to be a massive lay off. You will never think about how it will affect the economy. That is just human nature. It happens in politics, associations, and homes. Optimistic people will however more quickly see the good in most imminent changes. The truth is that there is a loss even in a positive change. Every beginning ends something. The interesting thing is that though people resisted at first, with a positive outcome they forget their first resistance. Your body will want to resist your workout initially but with your persistence and resilience, the outcome will be great. It is, however, our responsibility to work together for change when we need to support the change rather than watching without acting.
We celebrate with you if you were born in February. Wishing you and everyone a fabulous month!
