Resisting Being Changed – Resistance #2

  I didn’t change my mind, today is still going to be Resistance #2.  

What’s Behind the Fear?

I like this quote a lot.  It focuses one’s attention on what we really fear when it comes to change.  We fear WE are going to have to change.  Think about any change you fear and see if you don’t find that, at its essence, it isn’t a fear that it will lead you to have to change.

Isn’t that why we often don’t like new styles in hair, clothing, accessories?  Aren’t we afraid, when you get right down to it, that we will have to change and wear that style ourselves?  That is when the judgment seems to be necessary right? As a method to keep the change at bay, away from us and the resulting change that we would have to suffer through.

What do you think of this idea?
