fear-of-change

In moments of great change we suffer, somehow hoping deep down that our emotions and our dramas can change the future or prevent it from happening. Future happens regardless.

For change to occur in us, we must be willing to enter the wilderness of the unknown and to wander in unfamiliar territory, directionless and often in the darkness....We do not need to keep every little thing under control. In fact, we find ourselves only by allowing some falling apart to happen.

fear of change is like standing under a hot shower and knowing the moment you'll turn it off you'll be freezing cold

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.

Hide in the mirror. No one will look for you there.

Modesty is fear.

You don't really love me, or you never would have treated me like you did. You were just afraid of letting me go. There__ a difference, and no one knows that better than I do. We were both afraid of moving on, me of what I really wanted. It brought us together, it bound us, but no longer. I am done with making decisions based on fear. [Nicholas to Grace]

Stress is nothing but the fear of change.

There is no life without change. The real tragedy is that we are always fearful of change and resist it vehemently.

Progress isn__ always good. There__ a reason why __reakneck speed_ is described as such.
