Why to change?

Change is the heartbeat of life, yet for many it feels like a wound. Why is it so hard to embrace?

Perhaps because it awakens fear of the unknown, disrupts our comfort zones, makes us question our beliefs, and stirs a loss of control. Or perhaps because it demands effort, discipline, adaptability, perseverance, and time. In truth, the answer is both. Change unsettles us, and though we long for it, we often retreat the moment it asks too much.

We are creatures of habit. The brain is wired to seek safety, to repeat familiar patterns even when they no longer serve us. That is why we keep tackling old problems with the same solutions, even when they have never worked. As Rita Mae Brown wrote: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

Comfort zones are cages with invisible bars. They keep us safe, but they also keep us small. Tony Robbins reminds us: “People remain the same until the pain of remaining the same is greater than the pain of change.” We wait for pain to push us instead of courage to pull us. Yet the cost of staying the same is far greater than the cost of growth.

Change is not optional; it is life itself. Rivers carve new paths, trees shed their leaves, our bodies renew their cells. To resist change is to resist life. The pain of change is temporary. The pain of stagnation is eternal.

Yes, you may want to improve your habits, discipline, health, motivation, confidence. And these matter. But they are surface-level unless you face the deeper question: Why are you here? What is your purpose? Until you answer this, every other change is cosmetic, a new coat of paint on a house that is crumbling inside.

True change is transformation. It is not adding layers, it is shedding illusions. It is the courage to align your life with your highest truth.

So, ask yourself: If you could change one thing, what would it be? And more importantly, what would it awaken in you?

Real change is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you already are, and daring to finally live as that truth.

WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO

During this period of the COVID-19 like in any other period of our lives, one of the greatest sources of our suffering is our need to “control” everything. We do not “accept” things as they are but want them to be as we want. Consciously, but most of the time unconsciously, we do not accept what is happening around us and want it to be the way we want. For instance, when we say or think: “it is raining again” or “it’s too hot”, we are not accepting unconsciously what it is but want the day to be a nice day, whatever a nice day means for you. We do the same with people, things, locations, etc.; and we do it all the time, for everything, and do not even realize we are doing it. This is why life is so hard.  Just for the simple fact that we are trying to control everything and we do not even know that we are doing it. What most of us do not realize is that everything we are experiencing is happening inside of us, and not outside. All the stimulus from our sensorial organs and ev...
