It’s pretty well known that most people are not very good at accepting change. They don’t like the unknown. People prefer to know what is going to happen next in life.
But what if that change could bring something good? What if it meant that doors would be opened, opportunities would be brought to the table, and new lessons would be learned?
Then maybe things would be different.
Or maybe not.
Because that is exactly what most changes in life do for us!.
Many people are blinded by change and are only concerned about what they will lose. Rather than what they will gain or grow from this experience.
Accepting change
Yes, change can be painful in the beginning. But after spending some time getting used to it and trying to see the positive side of the change in your life. Then, things can seem to end up even better than before!
Since I think going through changes is important and needed in life, I decided to list 10 reasons why.
1. Moving forward
By accepting change in our lives, we are allowing ourselves to take a step forward and grow. When we reject change, we are hindering the process that we are supposed to be taking.
Even though it is easier to resist change. If you could just open your eyes, you can see the endless amount of opportunities that could come out of this.
2. Exciting
When something different happens in life, it can bring excitement because it is something totally new! It is forcing you to move and try something out of your ordinary.
Imagine living the same exact lifestyle every single day… that would definitely be boring!
3. It is needed
Throughout life, everything is always changing!
Think about it.
Our hair, nails, cells, teachers, hobbies, and even schools are continuously changing. Many of our friends are certain to change over time. Along with our style, our way of transportation, age, and job.
Even the weather needs to change every once in awhile, so don’t worry about it. Just let it be…
4. Strength
Obviously, not all change is good. But, as I said before “it is needed”. Since we don’t live in a perfect world, there are times that some changes will be sad and difficult.
Letting yourself grieve for some time. And then picking up and accepting it, will add some strength to your character for sure!
5. Flexibility
With constantly changing and growing in your life, you will become more flexible over time. You will begin to adapt more easily to new people, places, situations, etc.
Instead of thinking the world is over when something different happens. You will just adjust and live, accepting change when it comes.
6. Nothing bad lasts forever
Going through certain changes in life allows you to move on from some bad situations and turn to happiness. It will prove to you that nothing bad lasts forever.
That terrible relationship might seem challenging to put to an end. Since it is such a different step than what you would usually do. But, once you begin to move on you will feel a weight come from off of your shoulders and will start accepting things how they are.
Life goes on.
7. More understanding
Going through a change brings us to the reality that life is not as simple as it may seem. By encountering different unexpected life experiences, we become more understanding of others and their situations. Then, we are reminded that everyone has experienced a change at one point or the other. This can make you become more empathetic to others that are going through some life changes.
8. Personal growth
We are constantly growing each time we encounter a new experience. We begin to learn more about ourselves and where we should be rather than where we want to be.
Also, trying something new in life can really help you learn more about yourself. You begin to learn your limitations of how much you can handle.
9. Bigger opportunities
Hearing that you have to move to a new city for your job might sound terrifying because it seems so different. But, you might end up loving the new place and even getting promoted! Each change leads to another experience and new beginnings.

10. I would still look like this

instead of this….
and nobody wants that!
But, when you add all of these reasons together, you can see for yourself that accepting a change is needed in our lives!
So, I challenge you to begin accepting change as it comes into your life. Because it brings so many new opportunities and challenges. It’s what life is all about, so quit pushing it away and just live it up.
