People reacts differently to new things. Some people settle well with changes while some don't. More often, people are afraid of changes. Why? Because of the 'fear' of the uncertainty that'll come forth. So most people tend to shy away from 'new things' especially toward things that they are not in control with. They'll become skeptical towards new things and chose to settle down in the happy place called comfort zone. This is the usual form of psychological 'defense mechanism' towards change.
Why suddenly talk about change?
Well, for the past year I had settle down in the so called comfort zone at work. It was not easy to achieve that level of comfort. Working with people is not easy, at least for me whom will take some time to get along well with new acquaintance. That is why I feel blessed that i'm able to adapt well in the environment, able to understand people around me, and accept them at better and worse. I have come to love my work and those whom I work with.
Until one day, someone ask THAT question...
"......so what are your plan for future?......"
That question left me with a bigger question.
Has the time come?
Is it time to leave my comfort zone in the name of change? For brighter future...
There is no answer for that question. There's only choices. To live happy or to live accomplished. So I chose change, thanks to words of encouragement and need to challenge myself...
I chose to walk away...
away from things that I love...
away from people whom I had come to understand and care so much...
away from my comfort zone...
Leaving anaesthesia for surgery..
Now, i'm back on the roller coaster ride. Facing new things, new people, new set of attitude. To tell the truth, I miss my comfort zone. SOOO MUCH. There's no turning back. I really hope that adaptation period will pass swiftly.
'Change' is not scary...but it is also not easy. Once you've come to term with it, you'll be surprise with the opportunities that it'll bring. And definitely, a bigger comfort zone awaits..I hope people sees change in a positive light. Let's give a chance for change.
Until then...
Keep strong. Stay positive....and cry when you need to.
