We could argue that human nature is quite predictable when it comes to change. The fact of the matter is that we want the things in our lives to remain very familiar and stable. From this desire for predictability grows our resistance to change. This resistance can be quite vexing as it often stands in the way of our own growth and success.
It’s paradoxical that we find ourselves so adverse to change when the very lives we live, even our own bodies, are the epitome of change.  Every day millions of new cells are formed within us. Our eyes, for example, can register thousands of shifts in the spectrum of color. Our tongues are comprised of 10,000 taste buds able to tell apart the most complex assortment of flavors. And of course, it has been said that our brains contain billions of cells in support of our logical and creative functions. In essence, everyday is a challenge for us to renew or reinvent ourselves whether it is in our work, our families, our communities and even our bodies. The human spirit may be resistant to change, but the question still remains: How can we be more accepting of it?
