How to Conquer the Phobia for Change

Change they say, is the only common thing in life. I totally agree with this reasonable talk. It is a necessity for every man to accept the undeniably persistent drive of change in our lives but this is where it starts getting interesting; first you have to understand what change you are experiencing or why you are observing that change because inasmuch as man is unconditionally susceptible to change, the change itself is quite controllable. When that is done, a person can decide as to what type of change he or she would like to experience or encounter in their life. Man can choose his own change depending on his resolve which is clearly personal. Man’s inability to understand his own change, his inability to notice his own transformation is what differentiates people and this is what leads to a phobia. While others take as it comes; you take it as you will. An incapacity of a mindfulness is what makes change a scary event in the life of any man. Being aware that you are actually at the crossroads where change is inevitable and making a choice that you won’t regret makes change a great achievement. When you come upon some point in life, you will have to make a change in order to live in that moment or to excel in that picture but what guides our resolve and lets us make the right choice is the process of change which is dependent on the knowledge you have acquired. Knowledge is the personal guide in the change process, it is what is always available and in abundance to make change a fear-free experience. There is also a case where one may lack the requisite knowledge – either insufficient or absolutely lacking – to make a good choice of change. In such cases, it is advisable to seek counsel from others and when there is none available then choose a familiar phase of change so that what follows is what you may have anticipated. Change can be a beauty if you know how to handle it. Since change is a continuous process and a basic element of the fabric of life, it is important that we acquaint ourselves with how to manipulate our choices to be advantageous during a change and not to let change consumes us. Our reality is a consequence of the numerous, unchangeable decisions we have made and it will be a great if we make choices we will not regret, as we experience the inevitable nature of change. This is what makes successful and great minds. “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”- Isaac Newton. Experiencing a great change from within you can have a positive effect on others around you. This is what has made great men and continues to make them. The great Mahatma Karamchand Ghandi once said “Be the change you want to see”. These are the words of a great mind that stood firm never resorting to extremes in the harshness of the British colonial era of India. Don’t be scared of change, rather understand it, channel it, then forge a fortress out of it.       About the Writer: Bello Muhammad is a graduate of Biological Sciences.
