CHANGE

I remember reading graffiti in one of my friends' room once which went something like this: 'if you haven't changed anything in the last six months, check your pulse, you might be dead.' I might have screwed up the words here and there, but wow, what a strong message. I thought about it today and ran the last few years in my mind. I did change a lot. I loved it. I moved to a new country without a doubt in my mind. After that changing was the only way I could survive! Things improved after a while and change wasn't imperative. That is actually when things changed!
Now I don't know why the same 'change' sounds a little iffy! I would have loved this exact same thought few years ago. Now, it seems like so much work. That' scary. And by change I don't mean just change of location. Any type of change. It makes me pause for a bit. Before I would do it in a blink. I heard somewhere that the older you grow the more difficult it is to learn and adapt!!! Its happening to me already? So I did some introspection. What I found out was I had turned lazy! Yeah, there is no other answer. Lazy here applies to the mind. My body works pretty hard, (guess it doesn't know any better) but I haven't exercised my mind very well lately, except for the bare minimum needed to get by. Is it being complacent? I hope not. Or is it just taking a breather! Maybe it is just a passing phase in life, but nevertheless, a thought to ponder.
