The Easy Way Out

Change is hard. The easy way out is to just keep doing the same thing. This is fine if you are where you want to be but if you expect to grow and become something more you must change. Change is difficult. It makes comfortable people uncomfortable. It makes competent people uneasy, but what change offers is a chance to find the unknown. Change offers unknowns a chance to experience great things. To remain the same is to let others pass you by. To remain the same is to give up and accept what others are willing to give you. To change is to give yourself a chance to perhaps fail but it also gives you a chance to perhaps find greatness that you did not even know was possible.

I myself have learned far more from my failures than I have with my successes. Successes are rewards for hard work. Failures remind us that we need change and are opportunities for growth. Nobody likes to fail but when you are attempting to learn new things and new ideas, failure is inevitable on some level.

So the easy way out is to just stay the same. You can easily make excuses why you did not succeed. You can place the blame on something or somebody else. You can deny the failures. It is all so comfortable and easy. I, like many others, love challenges. Challenges are best when you have help to over come them but then again rewards are certainly best when shared with others also.
