If you like the way things are and plan no changes, but change comes, what would your reaction be?

After 43 years of life I’ve learned to go with the flow. Change is inevitable and it’s not always good. To panic or resist will only make the transition more difficult.

Battle stations.

“Surf’s up!”

Or possibly, “Allons-y!”

This question confuses people’s not feeling the need to change versus being able to adapt to change. A person may feel the have no need to change any of the immediate particulars in their lives, but that doesn’t mean their life is absolutely perfect, just that they have accepted what they cannot change and changed the things they could.

People who are accepting of their lot in life are happy and content and pleasant. That doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. A person may have chronic illnesses, or severe disabilities, or other things going on, but they may feel that there is not much more they can do besides accept things.

It’s impossible to plan for every possible thing that could happen. It would be a major bummer if there was a near by nuclear attack, major earthquake/volcanic eruption, a huge comet crashes into the earth, etc.

Little bummers and a few medium sized bummers can and should be planned for.

But failure to do any planning for the unknown and unkind future is a set up for a lifetime of bummers.

By definition, you cannot plan for nothing.

Change comes whether you cause it or try to impede it. Change is.

Err, bitterness much!
Change will happen when either I’m ready for it or when circumstances dictate so.
In the meantime, i’m easy like Sunday morning.

I’m prepared for almost anything.

And I’m working on that too.

Utter drama and depression. Hoplessness!

Funny thing is I have been cohabiting with some one who resists change… hates it. Stresses and gets irritated over it. Yet he ultimately wants the change to happen and once he adjusts is with it.

How do I handle unwanted change… Itry to roll with it. But that’s not to say I don’t have neative emotions that surface sometimes repeatedly over the same matter. Ultimately I know I can’t imagine my life realistically any other way. And given the choice to go back and undo it. I probably wouldn’t just because there are benefits to every option.

I’m pretty good at denial.

My reaction to change is to acknowledge and accept it. Change can happen quickly and at any point. I try to accept, embrace and learn from change, it is a part of life. I have been through many changes in my life, which by the way is not a perfect life, nor always a well-run life but I get by and live one day at a time. You never know what tomorrow may bring so I enjoy today.
