Change is the only constant thing in life.
It’s true, isn’t it? Everything changes, every little thing in this world. It has been going on for ages now and it’s not about to stop anytime soon. Like it or not, change is, was and will always be the only constant.
Think about it, are you the same person you were, say, five years ago?
I know I’m not. God knows I’ve transformed so much. In fact, it’s a process that continues still. Therefore, I’m sure you have too.
Have you ever given a thought to how much you have changed over the years?
As for me, honestly, it’s not something that I think about frequently. And maybe it’s not even something that I can quantify. But when I do, it dawns on me how different as a person I have become. It’s the same for everyone really. Sometimes the changes are abrupt while at most times they ease into your lives. It’s the former ones that cause the most trouble though. But take comfort from the fact that nothing is permanent, nothing at all. So, what you dislike today may not really be here to bother you tomorrow.
But why am I talking about change so much?
Well, I had to pick a quote for Day 2 of the 3 day quote challenge and somehow this one stood out. More so because I have experienced and felt how my graph as a person has soared or dipped, with no consistent pattern, over the years. I know for a fact that I’m not the same person that I once was anymore. The past me is someone who is very different from the present me. And I’m sure the future me would again be someone I don’t quite know yet. Yes, the blueprints are the same you could say. But if I were to look into the mirror at the person I was, say, 10 years back, it wouldn’t be the completely same person staring back at me. Thus change the topic for the day.
Well, what do you have to say to that? Do you like change? Or, rather do you believe in change? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Until next time.
Ciao.

Inspiring post. Very timely as I am going through a lot of changes.
I think change is necessary for growth, and how you adapt and grow through change affects the person you become. I am not the same person I was 10 years ago, but that person is still a part of me. I would love the opportunity to introduce myself now to myself then, and let her know that she has so much to look forward to, even with the struggles.
Oh, I like tiny, incremental changes. But the big, jarring changes? Those fill me with dread.
My favourite quote is – Change is the only constant.
I think about change. Maybe it's my age! I see it in the mirror every day. But inside, even though I still feel the same, I know I am different.
If you are the same person that you were yesterday then you are doing something wrong. Change is something that makes you a better person. I embrace change wholeheartedly and that makes me very brave.
Thanks Tammy 🙂
True …You have put it wonderfully…I missed articulating the part where some of what we are stays within us, new changes keep incorporating…
I think it's safe to say it's the same with all of us 🙂
One of mine too 🙂
I guess that's what we call life , don't we?
I agree at the brave part…better or not I guess varies from person to person though I certainly hope I'm a much better person than I was 5 years back.
change is the only thing constant…
O I completely agree with you and love the change I see in myself in last 5 years. I was such a mess, naive, and foolish as well .. :P.. But time made me learn lots of things and I welcomed it whole-heartedly. I think that's one thing that keeps life moving.
Well written Naba 🙂
Cheers
Yes, indeed
True Geets… I think we need to look at change positively, granted the transformation is postive and then move ahead in life…
Thanks 🙂
I like your choice of the quote. I don't detest change cos I have made some sort of peace with that fact. All I want is that no change should be sudden. I like gradual changes but at the same time, there is not much control. So learning to live with them is my mantra.
Very well said! The truth, the reality. Just make sure that the change is positive! Nice post! 🙂
Thinking about change every single day- at work, at home, in my daughter, in my blogs- rather self-centred, eh? 🙂 But this is one of my favourite quotes too, so it's not surprising. Not really sure I welcome change as much as I am ready for it. That helps.
Change is certainly a constant. Some things I had wished had not changed. But, it is inevitable, exciting too in a way.
Oh yes, change is the only constant! Though we know that everything changes, but changes that jump out of nowhere and totally shake us are the ones we dread.
I agree wholeheartedly with that quote…and truly believe it. I think we grow through change but it's interesting how sometimes people mention you've changed like it's a bad thing.
Sudden changes ruffle my feathers too…Sometimes I get cranky and impatient but gradually make peace with it 🙂
True, the positive part is very important 🙂
Oh I think it's good to be self centered…infact we should be so 🙂
True Rachna… I feel the same way about some changes
Yes, exactly Shilpa…the ones that come out of the blue are the ones that we are wary of…
Well, there are some people who can give a bad twist to everything!
Great quote! Truer words were never spoken.
How right on that quote is, indeed! 😉 I have certainly changed physically over five years as I think we all do; however, I would also hope that I have grown inside as a person, for the better, of course! 😉 Sometimes I resist change, sometimes I welcome it, depending on what it is! 😉 <3
Really true… but very tough to accept.
Change is the only constant. I loved reading your post, Nabanita 🙂 Infact, I look forward to change even if it unsettling initially because something new will emerge out of it and it keeps the variety in life going! Even businesses need change to reinvent themselves to sustain the cut-throat competition in a rapidly changing world. Makes perfect sense to me!

My favorite quote……change is the only thing that keeps us going forward !!
I guess all of us change due to situations, having to adapt to different people, surroundings, a new environment so on and so forth.
But again change which makes us forget our own loved ones is something which doesn't lead us anywhere. We can run behind money, power and the likes for sometime and forget our friends and family. But after a certain period of time, we all want the love of our friends and family. Money, power etc. alone cannot bring any happiness over and extended period of time.
