I Keep Telling Myself Change Is Good

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t like it when my expectations are not met. We like things to remain the way we understand and expect them to be, don’t we? Even when we’re told ahead of time that something will change or be different, deep down inside, we still expect it to be what we think it will be.

But change often serves a purpose: it helps us learn and grow . . . if we’re open to learning and growing. Change allows us to get outside of ourselves, to gain a new perspective. Change often gives us a bigger, better experience than we would have had if our expectations had all been met.
