"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." — George Bernard Shaw
This quote is about the one certain thing in life; change. Change will happen. The question is will you allow your mind to change as the new facts are revealed?
To move beyond where you are requires change. Progress is what we call that motion when it is in a desired direction (or at least desired to the person calling it progress).
To change means wading into the unknown. That scares some people. But progress demands you let down your need for control and do something new.
Change doesn’t come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek and now would be a pretty good moment to shift gear.
In my life, I often heard that the reason many of us resist change is that we are afraid of losing something. The reasons are plenty. It may be the fear of losing the familiar, fear of losing control, or merely the distress of losing someone and find ourselves alone.
On the other hand, when moving beyond where you are, you might see new possibilities or things you have to gain. You have to realize that change is a constant. Rather than running away from it, you should entirely and intentionally embrace it because you might live a more satisfying and full life.
Change and growth are a mark of success. It does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one next time. Accept failure as a part of success also. When you fail, you learn from your mistakes, and you can then identify what you did and not repeat them.
Basically, you should not fear to make a change to grow and develop but rather be afraid of stagnating and not learning anything new.
