Realization is key for planned change and intrinsic renewal

In life, we fear changes. Its part of our nature because deviation from our routines and perceptions will lead us into a grey area which we often cannot comprehend. In addition, the fear of making mistakes and exposing our true self often lead us to believe that we may be making a fool of ourselves, thus being too ashamed.

The painful aspects of change is that we know about the alternatives but weighing the benefits and costs, are often separate tasks. The difficult part is identifying the best route to take, because we live in a great fish bowl of uncertainty. What's more, is the fact that new opportunities and challenges emerge as we embrace the decisions in our lives, and somehow we need to live with our decisions, especially the ones we have made in the past.

Those who promote and embrace change, tell or perhaps push for change especially against the resistors of change. These resistors are people who take incremental steps in life, because they fear of big planned change, and generally because big change may become complicated and complication drives the hassle of cleaning up a big mess if anything goes wrong. Well, if every change goes right, it would be paradise and our state of technology will be as awesome as the 31st century.

Sometimes, I'm those who promote change while other times i'm those who resist them. But one thing is certain, without true realization, no one actually changes their way of life, no matter how much they try. A true realization will allow one to really experience the nature of a change, although that would mean a strike 1 for bad experience, but sometimes people have to learn it the hard way.

One thing i've realized is that no one entirely change their ways even under great fire of pressure. The change is rather temporary and often we adjust our ways even after change has been retained. So yes, maybe this time round we listen to the instructions that 500ml of water is needed, but later on we tend to increase or decrease it, due to human complacency. The realization of the need for change, has its kicks and drawbacks. But it would serve as a reminder for future changes in life, but the offer still stands that realization is always needed to prove the theory that 1 plus 1 is 2.

Putting this into reality perspective, is my recent realization of the need for change. Being so static and stagnant in life, only stalls you at one corner, while the world moves forward, leaving you behind. You dun feel it at first but after 6 months or so, you feel that you've lost connection with the world. While ignorance is bliss, carrying on this arrogant attitude, will only lead on to a deadly end where choices are limited and you feel a greater resistance to risk and change.

I've been anchored down, yes that's the right word to use; anchored down into a situation where i set my binoculars to a particular objective that it has caused me to develop a tunnel vision and a simple lack of direction. I anchored for over 3-4 years, with the nature of "ignorance is bliss". My recent realization has caused me to develop a new ideology towards change.

Well, as disgusted as I can be, I can only conclude that an early realization is the key driver towards a planned change and intrinsic renewal. And like always, change happens from within, rather than from external drivers, because external drivers often create temporal changes which humans respond to as "extrinsic motivation" whereas an internal drive for change, often lasts for a much longer or permanent perspective.
