How Do We Learn to Embrace Change Rather than Fear It?
We need to work more with mindfulness to embrace change.
There are two topics I cover repeatedly. Fear and change.
Why? Because we live in a fear-based society and change is the only constant in the Universe. What’s more, fear of change drives many, many people and the things they do.
Accepting the inevitability of change goes a long way towards learning to embrace it. But that’s not easy to do because of how fear is so broadly exploited.
What do I mean by that? Fear is everywhere we turn. Living in a fear-based society, it gets abused to cause us to make choices that don’t necessarily serve us; buy things we don’t need; choose and accept “leaders” from a shallow pool comprised largely of slime; create artificial lack, scarcity, insufficiency, and other limitations to direct, control, and otherwise disempower.
Change in and of itself is neither good nor bad. It just is. The impression of good or bad it makes tends to be based in and on our individual beliefs, values, biases, and the like.
