winds of change
“in life, there is one certainty. change”. people change. the environment changes. times are changing. trends are changing. even my blog title and feel, has changed *hint hint*. yet somehow, the general populace, manages to adapt and keep up with this rat-race called life.
so what has changed in my life, since i was born into this world. much, i must say. the physical aspect is of course undeniable. from a skinny, thanks to whooping cough sickness, to fat lil’ kid to a yo-yo state until now. emotionally, i was said to be a cheerful kid then turned to an emo teen (happens to most anyone, i gather) and now i am just me. a mixture of emotions, moulded by my upbringing and surroundings. things around me have also changed, or perhaps my perception of things have changed. people i surround myself with, have also changed. sometimes for the better. sometimes for the worse.
it’s sometimes confusing to keep up with all these changes. sorting things out and trying to make sense of chaos. some of us cope better than the rest, while some just breakdown and end up in mental institutions. what’s the secret to coping better than the rest? do you have some ritual you go through to manage these changes better? care to share with us your mantra, music album, yoga positions, breathing techniques? hope this will benefit some of the readers here.
yeah, like what you say,changes are inevitable.in this ever-changing world,you can’t stop changing. if people change, and u don’t change,u become a weirdo.imagine wearing clothes that are outdated compared with the others.so conclusion is,you also change so as to keep up with the times.anyway,i don’t have anything ‘bagus’ techniques to share about how to cope with changes, but i think generally,it is ourselves that can make the betterment of each change whenever the ‘need’ arises for us to change.It’s just like a learning experience.well,for example;someone told u that u need to change the attitude abt the way u work,or maybe they think that u are rude etc.. u change right?u try to be nice and friendly. why?do u see yourself in a better position with the others after you change?if they do,okay. but if they don’t, are you gonna keep changing to suit them, or hack care, who bothers about them, so long you are pretty fine with your attitude? so i think the general rule is, your perception, your intention of change needs to be precise. clear.understand what is the sole purpose of the change. get it right then maybe there might not be situations when ppl head for mental instituitions. easier said than done though.
i like your feedback very much. i agree that sometimes, i don’t change based on someone’s opinions blindly. i weigh the pros and cons and then decide if it really is a concern and that i’m doing it wrong. if the feedback is constructive, then it is most helpful, even if i don’t take it. it’s like someone telling you that your zipper is down. you can choose to listen and zip it up or don’t and get ridiculed. depends on the situation, as you have so accurately put.
there are, however time, when change is inevitable and is forced upon you. i would like your feedback on how you handle those situations. i have been in some really tight decisions before, but i am glad to be able to look back and see that it was necessary and it turned out for the best. however, not many people are so lucky. anyone else, please feel free to provide comments related to the topic or tell us about your secret in coping.
Beer seems to work pretty well.
sadly, that is not an option for me, j.star.i can’t touch alcohol, but keep those comments coming. p.s. how bad is the poison ivy itch? we don’t have that here in Malaysia, but we have a host of other stinging flora. does calamine lotion of the pharmacy shelf, help?
Hmmm… How i handle those situations?hmm..no secret la but all i can say is to ‘psycho’ yourself that;change is good,change is for better and for best.Sometimes even though change can be painful. maybe can try burying yourself into something else when you are in the midst of ‘changing’. hmmm… if it sounds logic. (:
sounds logical to me. keep yourself busy and don’t be bogged down by the small stuff. seems like you are in process of picking yourself up ya
i say, good for you!!
