If you run from change, you will not reach anywhere.

Change is the only constant in life. Your age, face, circumstances, relations, and children are not permanent. They are all subject to the ever-present force of change.

But we live like we are permanent here. We are immortals. We have to refrain from this feeling as soon as possible. You must take yourself to the point where you must understand nature’s laws.

“It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.”
― Roy T. Bennett

If you do something today, it will vanish or change in a few years. This is a part of life; you cannot control it.

We live in a society where changes occur every second. So, why do you think you will be permanent? Why do you think you will not change? You will remain the same throughout your life.

In India, we have a saying: ‘If things go according to your plan, that’s good. But if they don’t, that’s even better. It means God has a better plan for you.’ So, welcome the changes that life brings your way.

Change is an integral part of life, not something to avoid. It’s what makes life beautiful and exciting. Embracing new challenges and experiences will only make you stronger and more resilient.

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
― Rumi

Just as the day turns into night and night into day, change is a constant in our lives. Seasons change, months change, weeks change, days change; everything changes. So, why do you think you can’t change?

I have seen people change their natural behavior. Good people become bad, and evil becomes good. Poor becomes rich, and rich becomes poor.

It’s a cycle of life and nature’s law. The sooner you understand it, the sooner you can cope with life. Understand it; if you will not change, you will rot.

Think of water. Running water is fresh and suitable for drinking. But stagnant water rots becomes undrinkable and breeds diseases. Water is constantly changing and adapting to obstacles.

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
― Lao Tzu

Embrace change, and your life will be straightforward. If you run from change, you will not reach anywhere. What do you think about the cars you drive? Are these the same as when they were first built?

No, they upgraded and changed according to the situation and the demands of the time. You have to change.

Remember, every time you change, you’re evolving for the better. Make changes in your life to improve. Strive to be better than you were yesterday.

Don’t stay in the same place doing the same things for too long. If you do, you risk becoming outdated. Embrace change at every step of life and become a better person.

“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.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

If you change, you will progress. Change yourself and embrace it at every step of life. Become the better person.
