"Change is constant", they say. May I also wishfully state that, "change is a lifestyle". Especially for one who desires some sort of achievements in life. Change may not be what we want at a point or time, but certainly can be what we need. It may be what we want at a point or time, but certainly what we don't need. Don't be confused, haha.
The feeling and desire for change can come from a number of factors, ranging from displeasure, disinterest, growth, improvement and the likes. A desire for growth can become a stimulant for change; in the sense that you desire a certain kind of change for certain productivity or heights in life. Same case can be said for improvement as a stimulating factor for one's desire for change. Hence, you find that some persons can desire for a change of location for a certain goal, growth in and improvement of life.
Displeasure and disinterest are also interesting factors that leave one in a dire wish and desire for change. You might recall some persons sharing you stories how they had to quit a job, a thing they were doing, a skill they were learning, all because they lost interest and found no pleasure in it. So, you see, the subject of change runs well enough through our aspects of life.
In trying to relate with the subject of this prompt; change, I find that it can be in different forms or come in different contacts to an individual - a change in character, a change in appearance, a change in behaviour, a change in belief, a change in basic skills... It appeals to different facets of an individual's life, and it is for this reason that people will always have a desire for change.
However, change doesn't just happen, no. There's has to be this proper diagnosis of one's life; attitude, character, behaviour, appearance, and the whole lot of them. After this, with all sincere and true judgement then can one ascertain and agree on an issue, to fix and bring about a change in that respect.
Though life's experience and dealings, and diagnosis of myself, I have come to discover a certain thing, a particular one that I so wish to cause a change in. I had come to terms with some things about life in regards to me, and made changes where need be in many cases and aspects of my life.
If I was to be thrown this question some years back; good number of years, you would be amazed by the answer I would give. Trust me, it would be childish. Today, thank God for growth I know better.
I know what I have and I know what I don't, I know what I like and I know what I don't, I know what I want and I know what I don't. And certainly, I know that one thing I wish for a change is in respect to keeping up to tasks. Yeah, keeping up to tasks, consistently.
I'm one that can plan tasks and activities, and keep up to them at the early – and maybe middle – stages. Nevertheless, as time goes by, the effort and dedication put in tend to diminish. Maybe it stems from the fact that I like to try out new things rather than doing certain ones repeatedly.
On different occasions I plan out tasks and I tend to cut them off, and that to attend to other ones, after a seemingly level of dedication, effort and success on the one already on ground. It's more of a matter of finishing than just starting. Through this then, I have come to realise that it can take more to finish than to start. No wonder, "better is the end of a matter than the beginning". Sometimes these issues arise due to improper utilisation and management of time.
I can't agree less to the fact that dedication to planned tasks and activities is necessary for the achievements of desires and goals; long term ones especially. So, I am aware I have to keep pushing and doing better. There's a reason there are words such as tenacity and resilience, and I think such a reason as one is this.
