Time For A Change

Change simply means to make different; cause a transformation.  So why do most people fear change?  People fear change because they are scared of the "unknown".  Most people like things to remain the same.  These are things that they are use to and have their own way of handling.  They have become comfortable and complacent in their situation.  Change makes them uncomfortable because it requires adjustment and adaptation. 
Needless to say, people don't always like to be taken out of their 'comfort zone' or taken away from what they know to expect.  However, they should not be fearful of change.  This can alter dreams and slow up or stop progress in their lives.  So to get past the fear they need to decide to move on in the direction of the unknown on the promise that something will be better for them.  Making this change requires a leap of faith.  Remember this saying:  "If you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what you've always got." 
Just like Barack Obama said during his campaign, "Change We Can Believe In", and you see where that got him, the First African American (in other words, Black) President of the United States!  If it was good enough for him then it's good enough for you.  So don't be afraid to change within hopes for the better.  You won't know if you don't try -- take that leap of faith, make that change!
