One day at a Time

I always wonder why some people argue that we humans, are hard-wired to resist change. We like to stick with what we know, even if we know that what we know isn't really worth knowing. A sense of familiarity brings comfort, yet still we find ourselves attracted to goods, services and ideas which are presented to us as 'new'. We generally like them better, though, if they turn out to be only a little bit new and not dramatically different. If you are now taking small steps towards some much-needed improvement, don't fear this change. 

Think back to a time in your life when you were very worried about a matter that eventually turned out well. If you could now send yourself a message back in time, what would it say? How would you try to communicate some reassurance? As for now, look ahead. Suppose that you are living in the future, some months or years from now. Things have worked out well. Your current cause for concern is clearly not as serious as you fear. What would you want to tell yourself? Listen out carefully for that news.
