Change and Complexities of Change

    Everybody knows the proverb "Change is the only constant in this world". Many of us want a change in our lives and we yearn and work for it. But when it finally comes, I am not sure how of us are really ready to embrace it. We are consumed by the fears of the unknown and the proverb "Known Devil is better than the Unknown" seems a lot more true. We try to figure out all the permutations and combinations' of what could go wrong.
   If the above fear does not affect us then the change we yearned for does not make any sense anymore or you cannot accept it as the circumstances have changed quite drastically. This causes a lot of friction. Some of the people involved would think that the person is playing the fool with them or is expecting more than what was originally agreed.
   When change comes naturally or when it is thrust upon oneself then the impact is much less. This is like when moving from school to college.
   How do we deal with these situations? There is no one single answer expect, as the Bhagawad Gita suggests "Do our duty and leave the rest to God". But we are not so detached to disregard the friction that occurs. Also what one method works for one will probably not work for another.
   I guess I could ramble more but I will stop at this point and see if you people have anything to say.
