Why is change so hard?
In so many ways, we thrive on it. We get bored without it. Our culture is ever-evolving. We always need the newest, latest gadget; what was popular yesterday is not today. Nothing stays the same for long — blink and you’ll miss it. Yet when it comes to changing ourselves, why is it so difficult?

I have recently made the decision to make some life changes to improve myself, which has already affected everyone around me. Once I made the decision — it’s been pretty smooth but why did it take so long to make? Every day, people walk around all over the place, filled with the knowledge that there are very important changes that they have to make — have to, as in, their lives depend upon it — yet they do nothing. Meanwhile, most folks are fine rolling with the punches of technology and keeping up with the Joneses. It’s the changes that have to do with ourselves that are the scariest of all. It’s much easier to push uncomfortable thoughts aside and focus on someone else than to turn the mirror around on ourselves.
