Rolling Out of Bed & Change

Rolling out of bed and going out in the daylight is a very courageous act. In fact, it is the most courageous act anyone has ever done in their lives. Battles would not have been won if the knights did not roll of out of their beds; Noble Laureates would not have gotten their Noble Prizes if they did not roll out of bed; gravity would not have been thought of, if Newton did not roll out of bed and decide to spend time under a tree.

You see, rolling out of bed is a way of telling the world that you are ready to face it, that nothing is bothering you, that you're awake and nothing can stop you from kicking some ass.

But some days, and maybe for few days back to back, you find it so hard to wake up. If gotten the chance, you refuse to roll out of bed. You lay there in the fake darkness that the curtains provide to your room, and think about everything. You think about it all, you realize how much things have changed, and you refuse to accept.

A lot of people say that as human beings it is in our nature to love change. We're beings that get bored easily and love to have a dynamic constantly changing life. Some other people say that that is not the case and it is always hard for them to adapt to change.

I'm starting to think that no matter how we perceive change, it is hard for everyone to adapt to it. We might expect a huge change in our lives. We would know it, we would accept it. Then, under that one thing that is changing there's the "sub-changes". There a lot of small things that change because of that big thing that is changing, and we find those sub-changes hard to accept.

The sub-changes might be very small and trivial that we might not pay attention to them. We would feel uneasy about things, and decide to ignore that uneasiness. The sub-changes accumulate, and the next thing we know is that we can't roll out of bed. We don't to face the world. We're not as courageous as we always were.

Accepting the sub-changes that come with change or precede it is what makes change so hard to adapt to.

I guess all we have to do is to understand why those changes are happening, why those other little changes are occurring, and find the best ways to adapt to them. Now, what are the "best ways" exactly, I have no idea - I am sorry to disappoint you. I just believe it differs from a person to another, and even for the same person in different times. But the one of the best things that you could do for now until you figure out the rest is to: roll out of bed with a huge smile and an attitude to rule the world!

Have a great afternoon everyone!
