Change is not a choice....

Penning down my thoughts about something a wee bit meaningful than food after a while.. A friend recommended I watch the movie Adaptation... so I did...there was this one phrase that struck a chord deep down somewhere.. when Meryl Streep says.. "change is not a choice"... the timing of my watching this movie couldn't have been better because today is also the day when I was closing a chapter in life professionally and hoping to open a new one in a few weeks time.. The phrase also made me think back on my 37 years and the various times I was faced with change... and they seemed to have come up at each step...

Your home, environment, relationships, people you meet, all of it impacts you, brings about a bit of change now and then and one fine day you look back and you tell yourself.. wow !!. I wouldn't have thought I could do or say that 10 years ago !!! :) Change will do that to you I guess.. make you say, do, feel and experience things that you were wary of... I talk about change all the time in my trainings on organizational development and other such blah! and that how it is the only constant in life.. that is true... but today that phrase really made me realize that much as we want to be and seem to be in control of various situations in our life, often time change occurs when we are least expecting.. accepting it is often hard, embracing it is harder and learning from it to become a better person is the real trick !

The new year has opened me upto myself in an interesting way, sounds a wee bit egotistical maybe but various incidents have given me the confidence to accept change more graciously in life coz , when I was least expecting, those very incidents made it more meaningful, more interesting.. so Life.. I ask u to BRING IT ON !!!.. ;)
