Everything in the universe changes. Nobody in the world can escape the reality that life is a phenomenon of spontaneous and sudden changes. For everyone it is a changing process, from conception to death, for which they are responsible. We endure circumstances and advances in work and relationships, changes in our physical and psychological well-being, and new occasions in our neighborhood networks and reality. Occasionally we are aware that change will occur, while on other occasions it will come abruptly and surprisingly. It may be a failure, but it may also be a great surprise with new opportunities.
Can you stay away from changes?
The human psyche is a very complex thing to understand. Changes affect both the mind and the body of the person.
Many people invest a lot of time and energy trying to stay away from change. If you can figure out how to adapt to change, you will reduce your risk of tension and discouragement for yourself and in society.
Nothing stays the same. Sooner or later everything and everyone around you changes and that creates uncertainty. And the irony is that you have to accept this change and the changes help you understand what is going on around you and the old is replaced by the new.
