Change
It's very easy to stay cemented to the life and routine you are used to, even if you know that something within it isn't working anymore. The pieces of the puzzle seem to be falling apart because they don't fit properly as they once did; yet you keep trying to push them back together. Somehow there is false comfort in the familiar.
I have seen family and friends struggle, and we all have been there at one time or another in life. If someone tells you they haven't, then they are not being honest with themselves. It's not always something big; even a small misstep can shift you into uneasiness. Unfortunately people tend to stay on a crumbling path rather than confront it and make a change.
It can be a multitude of things that you may be dealing with: a job that no longer challenges you or brings you satisfaction; issues with your children; worries over the health of a loved one who ignores it themselves; struggling with financial difficulties, and so many other trials along the bumpy road of life. We endure these every day, and typically just move forward as we always have. It seems so much easier than facing the issue and addressing it.
Although there are some who will tell you that they welcome change, or are excited by it, the majority of people fear change. The unknown can paralyze them, and they hope and pray that things will improve on their own. Of course we all know they won't - every issue or problem in life needs a remedy.
The truth is, even though making a change is difficult, once you have made a decision and move forward, a weight is lifted. In the end you find that the change is exactly what you needed. If you follow your heart and make a positive choice, it can put you on the path to solid ground once again.
