What if you could see change as a gateway to something better? What if you could see it as the passage to a better, more fulfilling life? Maybe you could see it as your contribution to the miracle that is your dream life?
work life balance
Sounds too good to be true? Let's look at some real life situations. Say you're in a job that you're a bit fed up with. You'd like a better one, but you don't take any action to get one. You stay where you are, taking advantage of the drinks on a Friday evening to complain about your job, your boss, your lack of prospects etc. There is no chance of things getting better unless something changes. Realistically, the only thing YOU have control over is yourself.
What can you do? Well, what does lie within your control? You can decide whether to stay or go. You can choose to look for a change of tasks within the job. You could ask for more responsibility, to do more varied and interesting tasks. You might decide that the job pays the bills and you can use it to fund your more interesting hobbies. You could look at what attracted you to that job in the first place and examine what has changed since then (maybe the job has, maybe you have). I'm sure you can think of other possible options in this scenario.
What if you leave things exactly as they are? Do nothing? Wait for "fate" to step in and take the decision away from you? Absolve yourself of all responsibility for your own happiness & fulfillment?
As one of my favourite quotes goes "If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got" (W.L. Bateman). So if you keep on doing the nothing that you've always done, you'll keep on getting the unsatisfactory job that you've always got.

What's the way out of this puzzle? Accept change. Embrace it. Go out and find it before it finds you. Give yourself to it wholeheartedly. And eventually maybe you'll even learn to enjoy it?
Hale Dwoskin who teaches The Sedona Method, details the three important questions we have to ask ourselves in relation to feeling bad about anything:
1. Could I change how I feel about this thing?
2. Would I change how I feel about it?
3. When?
The events presented to us in any situation may not be under our control, but our feeling about the events is OURS. Now what are we going to do with it?
