CHANGE

Change is good ... Change is bad ...
Change is neutral being as you want it ...
Sometimes right ... Sometimes wrong ...

The best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.
             -Theodore Roosevelt


But something magical about it is-
What it brings along is what leads to it - fear, anxiety, resistance, acceptance, appreciation
Change is both from bright to dark and dark to bright
both are resisted in the beginning, fought then after, lived miserably and then comfortably till the urge for other is felt and here the story repeats again.

Nothing that is can pause and stay;
the moon will wax, the moon will wane,
the rain to mist and cloud again,
tomorrow to today.
             - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


And LIFE - life is not something that happens in between, life is what happens along
Accepting the change or resisting the change is called going for life, ignoring the change is withdrawal from being alive.

The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.
             - Japanese proverb


Change has the army, you can battle but can never win. A win against it is a loss and a loss against it is a loss till you see a win beyond the loss.

The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.
             - William Blake


Every change definitely has a price to pay and a prize to gain.
Let go the price, let come the prize
But don't let them tame, be them strange
clearing up the way for yet another change.

If you attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are, pleased with yourself, there you have remained. Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing.
              - Saint Augustine
