Change: It affects us all!

The dictionary defines change as: to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone.  As humans it is not in our nature to leave things alone and therefore, change is inevitable. So why are we always taken aback when a change starts to take place. What is the stirring that we feel inside when confronted with change. With me there is an immediate hesitation to embrace the change.  This resistance goes on for an undermined amount of time until the course is readjusted and I can begin to embrace the new path.
