Change Vs Constant

On an average, research says that a man changes his thinking in six to seven years time. Look back, 7-8 years from now and see how your thinking was and how things have changed for good or bad, now.

I come from a not-so-rural background. When I was studying, jeans was just a trend that was setting in. People who would wear jeans were radical and hi-fi according to us! :) Now, my thinking has changed. A small example, that was. You would have such numerous examples to share.

When new things come, we are reluctant to change. But, when slowly exposed to it everyday, we accept the change to such an that it becomes a part of our life. You will forget that one day you were opposing to change.

Life comes with constant changes. Everyday passing carries a change along with it - season. But, this change is also constant isn't it? This change has a routine. As the days pass, we also change. But our changes are mainly are not constant.

We either believe that "everything will change" or "nothing will change". Gone are the days where we could live in this fantasy. The tough part is that we have to change and probably everyday and every moment. Changes prove to you that how much flexible you are.

Does this mean that everything changes? No. You have to draw a line, where you can change and where you can't.
1. A dry wooden log is not flexible.
2. A growing/tender twig is extremely flexible. It can be bent anyways.

In both cases, we fear extremes. Some basic pillars of life like values (truth, faith, patience etc.,), beliefs should be like wooden log. If you show flexibility in these pillars, your life will shake. And the rest are left to your conscience. You have to change or you might change based on situations.
