coping with changes part 2 But at the same time when people have to cope with changes - because that is how nature works (changes - adaptation - repeat) - they try to evolve, and the most successful ones have a clear understanding of the purpose of it. Gratification does not always mean some material stuff. It could be a higher goal that would have a greater impact in future. As for me, I am yearning for changes and afraid of them at the same time. I jump at opportunities that fuel me with inspiration so much that it beats my fear. For some time (2 or 3 days) I let myself go hysterical for a bit, feel scared, think of any bad things to happen. And then I just think of it as a task that needs to be done. Such attitude helps me to overcome uneasiness and fear of changes.
