Change is inevitable.....

I have this urge to blog........I need some release. I don't have much to say, just random thoughts.

So the other night I was driving home from Wal-Mart ( I almost hate to admit I shop there) and I started thinking about the lines on the road. Whether yellow, dotted, white, single or double, we are taught to stay in the lines when driving. Isn't it funny how we are taught to stay in the lines throughout our whole lives. Whether its the lines in our coloring books, the lines we form in school so our teacher can keep track of us, the lines on the road or keeping in line by not bothering anyone and being polite........I don't know, maybe I have too much time to think.......

Another thing I realized is the fear of change. I was watching a tv program tonight and there were 4 different people each with a different profession being interviewed. A psychologist, interior designer, surgeon, and a personal trainer. I noticed that the one thing they all had in common was the fact that they deal with people who want to change, but may be afraid to. A psychologist makes you change your mental comfort, an interior designer changes your surrounding comfort, and the surgeon and personal trainer both change your eating comforts and physical comfort. And they all change your outlook and aspects that make up your life. Why are we so afraid of change? Just yesterday someone told me that not all change is bad, but sometimes it's really hard to believe. Then again, is it the fear of change, or the fear of admitting that something's not working and maybe we were wrong that bothers us. Or maybe its admitting that yes, we do have flaws. But how are you to improve your life if you don't know what's wrong? I dont' believe you can..........its simply learning from your mistakes, or maybe not just mistakes. Learning from the good and wanting to keep it that way. Knowing when change is good.....
