Change comes

One of the greatest and also frustrating things in life is how to live out each and everyday. Each one of us has a set of core values, those which we live by, seen and unseen, heard and unheard and some of it is affected in each one of us as we struggle with why change happens.

We each have our own pet theories of how the world works, different people can look at the same situation, and come to completely different conclusions about what's likely to happen next. With this said, there are concepts that for some may be real or truth while for others they are not…one has to make the decision of how ONE will live their own life.

As I process through change in my life, here are some of the battles I currently face, believe me or not, I don’t care, they are real….maybe you can identify with it, you are entitled to your opinion, why change happens, how you deal with it and whom in the end is in control of the outcome of your change…..Happy living….well …..LIVE

There are many theories of change you can find, there are some that I have put down in my own world… (There may be others: the list changes with new information, and one should always open to suggestions.) Almost any theory you can name can be sorted into one (or, occasionally, more) of these bins:

1. Progress. Change happens because humans want to improve their condition, apply new methods of living and add good problem-solving to create progress.
2. Development. Change happens because people want to build a decent life, which leads us towards specialization and complexity. We as individuals don't have much control over this process.
3. Technology. Change happens because humans are motivated to solve problems, which requires the creation of new technologies, which in turn drive progress and social change.
4. Ideas. Change happens when culture changes through the dissemination of new ideas. One good idea has the potential to change the world. As individuals adopt new ideas, they participate in the creation of change, and experience personal growth as well.
5. Cycles. Change happens according to predictable patterns, which can be discerned by studying history. These patterns are usually seen as cycles or waves, with periods of great change alternating with periods of rest and recovery.
6. Conflict. Change happens when groups of people engage in a struggle to improve their lot. People succeed in creating change only if they're willing to fight for it, and progress occurs when we pursue our own interests to the fullest.
7. Power. Change happens when powerful people and groups decide to alter the status quo to further increase their power.
8. Evolution. Change happens when the physical environment changes, and organisms adapt in response to those changes.
9. Chaos & Complexity. They describe behavior that appears to be non-rational and random; but becomes somewhat comprehensible when you understand the larger system at work. Nobody can really understand all the variables at work; but those who take the time to study a system and its interactions may get an upper hand -- or, at least, be prepared for the extreme behavior the system can deliver.
It is just my simple struggle of defining where I am in the middle of change, only ONE knows what is ahead, you and I can not turn the page and see ahead, but are we willing to trust the ONE who knows what it is in the end….

Until then, I hate change….but am glad for the UNCHANGED ONE even though in the eye of the storm, I am aware of my own limitations…..

CHANGE MUST HAPPEN
