There are two kinds of people I think. The people that hate change, and everyone else.
I can see how and why it could make a person uncomfortable. We get used to our routines, find comfort in them even. And to lose the familiarity of the people and places we see everyday, of knowing what's coming next, is unsettling.
This is not the case for me. I don't mind change. You might say that I crave it. I've been called a quitter and a runner at more than one crossroad in my life. I've learned to see my choices, not as running away from something, but rather running toward something else. Toward something new from which I will surely procure a priceless little nugget of knowledge about myself or the world around me.
All kinds of things need change in order to survive; car tires, molting reptiles, judges on American Idol. It's almost always worth the effort to adapt. Don't box yourself into a comfortable and predictable life. Don't be a change hater.
