Change to accept or accept change ...

Everyone is equipped with limitations. But then again, it is a curse or could it be a blessing instead? The glass ... half full or half empty? With flaws, we're able to discover the good in comparison with the bad. Then the realisation that there is something more for us to achieve gives us a target to work with. A destination we can move towards that will guarantee satisfaction upon arrival. That's the 'high' everyone seeks and this encourages evolution. Be it an evolution of the mind, our emotions, the physical body ... it can be anything and everything ... bottom line being that at the end of the day, we do better than we did.

Some say change in unattainable, others say change is unavoidable. I say the concept of change keeps changing. Changes happen all around us whether we're able to see it or not and its occurences are governed by a million and one factors ... some within our control but most aren't. Do we resist it? Or would it be wiser to simply embrace it? Do we fear what we do not know? Do we give ourselves the slightest of chance for adaptation? So many questions and answers to these questions will only lead to deeper confusions. Dare I be so bold to ponder and dissect into the meaning of life??? ... into the reasons for everything?

Perhaps it's easier to 'give in' and simply ... accept. Acceptance of the fact that life can be utterly cruel and ridiculously unfair. Accept that there might be a bigger plan for us and we just can't see it right now from where we are. We tend to forget that we're constrained in so many aspects but time and time again, we refuse to acknowledge this truth. This denial is proof of our limitations as it is and it's a good thing, really. Perfection will only serve to put a fullstop to betterment. If so, then why do we do what we're doing? Silly isn't it to keep striving and slaving to get our grubby hands on the holy grail that is flawlessness???

Don't get it??? ... nevermind, I don't either. Well, not that I don't get myself, but I simply know it without being able to explain it ... and guess what, I'm not even going to try to, so you just have to take it as it is. Try it.

Changes & Adaptation - 2 words that stir the fear, confusion and challenges one's comfort zones.
In corporate world (as well as others) - changes are inevitable, adopt, adapt and embrace it otherwise "that's the door, close it on your way out" term will thrown at you... We pretty much do not have a choice.
socially, however, I do believe we still have a choice - just because a certain act is famous/infamous/popular/ that mean it is (morally) correct, ie we can still preserve our choice & principle in life...
Just humble thoughts...
