Readjustments

​“There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.”
— Rick Warren

The general phrase of, "I don't like change," has been uttered since Eden.  Today, I echo their words again.  It is not so much the that I don't like change, as it as that I don't like fear, loss or pain.  "What do I have to give up, who am I going to lose, how will I work with that person, what is expected of me, how will routines changes, what is their personality like, will we get along, how will I get it all done, I don't understand what they are asking of me, have they considered..." 

I wanted to write that I admire those who don't fear change, but I am not sure that statement is true on several levels.  Do they really not fear, or just put on a good front?  Do they really not fear because they are so self absorbed it doesn't matter to them?  Have they become so emotionally blunted that they no longer feel?  I am sure there are those that would argue with me, "I don't fear change,"  but I would have to disagree.  What changes I fear and what changes you fear may not be the same, but change does not come without some level of anxiousness.  I wonder what readjustment, changes, you are facing today?
