Ring in the new

This year has taught me a profound life lesson — ‘the consistency of change’. It might sound paradoxical, but change is remarkably refreshing.

Change can be compared to standing at the edge of a pool, shivering with anticipation of the ice-cold water. The dilemma is clear: either grit your teeth and take the plunge, experiencing temporary discomfort that swiftly vanishes, or remain on the edge, contemplating the ongoing discomfort of uncertainty.

The choice seems difficult at the time, as it always is while leaving your comfort zone and moving out into the unknown.

How many times have I stood there, debating the outcomes? Wouldn’t it be better to jump in and discover?

As the year concludes, I find myself pondering change — Is our life enhanced by it or hindered?
