Why Are We Afraid of Change?
Change is the only constant in life.
In the corporate world, it is often said that the only permanent reality is change. Change means that what was there yesterday is no longer present today, and what exists today will not be there tomorrow. Despite knowing this, we often try to keep things static because we fear change and are usually unwilling to embrace it.
Why are we afraid of change?
We fear change because, along with it, we have to change ourselves to align with new demands. This requires learning new skills and adapting to new environments. Since we are accustomed to the old environment, which feels comfortable, we are reluctant to put ourselves through the discomfort of acquiring new skills or adjusting to a new setting.
