Switchness

Surveys have proven that it takes a human about 21 days to adapt to a new habit. Isn't that too long a time? That time window seems to increase a little more after heartbreak!

Sulk all you want but the old routine isn't going to resume. We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better. Much like gorging on just main course. Whoa whoa whoa! Next station, dessert, sweetie. The last & the best!

I quote Friedrich Nietzsche-
“The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.”
Ever wondered why most sports have an interval of half-time between the game? It is basically done for the teams to change their strategies according to the strength of the opponent players.

Life cycle of mankind is pretty vague. It’s impossible to live without mommy in the first few months. Then, we ditch her for playschool which we previously hated! Next comes the time for homework. Darn education! By the time we come to realize the importance of it, we’re done with school & begins the carefree college phase. It is an anti-school period. Also, we can’t wait to get a degree & earn our own bread. Oh but once that’s done, we finally come to realize that adulthood is grilling & we begin to miss the good ‘ol days. Transformation much? A reality check for the ones who “live a stable life”, you actually aren't. Y’all are just in this pseudo state of mind where in you assume it’s all going according to your plans. Think of Earth’s rotation; it’s happening constantly & we’re all in it together. But seldom do we notice it.

An easy way to deal with change is to think of it as the next level in the game of life. We all love moving one level higher, don’t we? So how do you know you've reached the final destination? Think of Prince of Persia; princess saved, mission accomplished.

I read this very recently,
“If you haven’t encountered a single problem on a given day, you’re probably on the wrong lane.”

It’s when you get a decent recognition; you know that you've gotten into home territory. Keep experimenting until then.

Most of the time, the choice of whether or not the change will take place, lies with us. My vote always rests with the pick which makes me dance to another tune, for I get bored real quick & easy.

The truth is, we all need to learn how to deal with change; in our life, in the lives of people who matter the most to us & more importantly, with change in our surroundings. For how long would we chew on the same gum? The flavor will eventually wear out.
