Creature: anything created, either animate or inanimate. We are creatures. More specifically, we are creatures of habit. We have the same routines. We use the same methods. We frequent the same stores. We order the same item off the same menu @ our same favorite restaurant. When we show up to Starbucks daily, we don't even have to order. Enter: CHANGE Change: to make the form, nature, or content of something different from what it is If you want to understand the gravity at which we are genetically predisposed to despising change... simply mention the word to Will Jones. Unless the "change" you speak of requires breaking a $100 bill, you will be lectured, scolded, & berated. Some of us REALLY dislike change, but why? Unfamiliar Unsettling Uncomfortable This is why we stay in relationships that are toxic. You have no real desire to be with him//her, but you also have no desire to be alone. Your desire to test the open market is even less. End result: you manage the toxicity & hope for CHANGE. You seek what you have no desire to do yourself. Ironic. This is why we stay in jobs where there are no opportunities for growth. Work is draining. It is unrelated to the degree you worked so hard to attain. Unrelated to anything that brings you joy. Neither the field, environment, or coworkers are ideal. & yet you adamantly refuse to budge. You are an immovable object! Your "commitment" & "determination" is an excessive fragrance masking the true odor: FEAR..... End result: Lead an unfulfilling work existence because the lights need to be on, groceries need to be in the fridge, & Navient is more menacing than DeBo. Unfamiliar. Unsettling. Uncomfortable. Unknown. So what's the incentive for change? Being content & complacent deters growth. Refusing to change yourself or environment can lead to resentment & toxicity. Fear of the unknown can shackle you into a bitter & unfulfilling existence. All signs point to CHANGE!!! Some of you are ready to be BOLD, courageous! Ready to adventure out into the unknown! There is a willingness to adjust! Adapt! I salute you! The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step! & yet there are "the others"....."special people" ..... "Creatures" Unmoved by the keystrokes.
Untouched by the memes. The creatures of habit are immovable objects. They will NOT change!! Therefore I must yield to your overwhelming conviction, & can no longer urge you to change...... However, I will suggest you "transform".... "evolve"...... "modify" To those who pose the question, "If it's not broke, why fix it?".... I respond to your question with a simple & profound statement: If it's not perfect, improve it!
