Resisting Change

I recently reflected upon the reason why some of us resist change. What I have come up with is that we are afraid of not being up  to the change, that we might not be "good enough". We therefore find the excuse that we don't need it (whatever "it" is, either an object, a habit, an idea etc.), that the old one is still good, it still works for us. But it actually does not. Living in this world and in a certain environment implies that we "adapt" to the transformations that inevitably occur from time to time. We are unconsciously scared of the new because we believe, although we don't want to admit it even to ourselves, that we might not be capable of coping. But we are! We have been in the past and we still are. Therefore... let us try to dare!
