“Many people hate change because, fundamentally we are creatures of habit. We operate according to habits which we repeat every day. We find it difficult to change our habits.”
You hear it all the time… people hate change.
I disagree. People hate not being in control of change.
Picture this: You are told you must move to another part of the world, all expenses paid. A specific town, somewhere in the world. Not of your choosing. Would you resist? Would you resent it? I would venture… yes. You would hate the change forced upon you. Even if it was a fantastic place to live.
Now imagine you are given the opportunity to move anywhere in the world, to the place of your choice, all expenses paid. I believe most people would jump at the opportunity. But some might still be hesitant. What if something went wrong? What if it was a bad choice?
So then we come to the third scenario. And opportunity to move anywhere in the world, all expenses paid. And, if you don’t like it, the opportunity to move back “home”, all expenses paid. Who would turn it down?
People don’t hate change… they hate the loss of control from change forced up them.
I love change… a new beach every day… if we choose.
