Change is a constant, however much we pretend, everything we know and love, everything we know and hate will come to and end. As it was once put to me; “that which we hate cannot endure forever, that which we love must eventually return” (and vice versa).
People don’t like change, neither do animals, if you own a cat, make a noticeable change to a room and see the reaction!
I’ve been going through a process of change recently, and I’ve noticed how easy it is to sabotage that process and slide back into comfortable old habits without realising it. I think it comes back to that old chestnut of non attachment, in this case it’s self image. We all have a view of ourselves, the ego attaches a lot of self worth to that image, if we’re not careful we put the cart before the horse and think that we are that image.
Anything that threatens that stability, even if positive, is a threat to the ego and it will be resisted. I’ve always found that I’ll easily wind up sabotaging my own efforts if I’m not careful, it’s an interesting lesson it is not? The ego can not only make you feel huge and important, it can humble you and frustrate your dreams.
