Change is normal. Change is needed. If you want to be someone, you need to change into that someone.
But you can’t grow into a new version of your life while remaining the old version of yourself. If you want different results, you have to become someone capable of creating them.
Change isn’t just for individuals. Everything needs to evolve: universities, companies, teams, systems. Inertia is comfortable, but it’s also deadly. Organizations collapse not because they’re attacked, but because they protect inefficient processes with the classic excuse: “That’s how we’ve always done it.” Entire institutions defend outdated models long after they’ve stopped working, hoping tradition will compensate for stagnation.
Change is scary. It’s a fear of stepping into a future you can’t fully predict. But the alternative is worse: staying in one place while the world moves on without you. Growth requires discomfort. Innovation requires risk. Progress requires letting go of the familiar.
You need to constantly examine who you are, how you think, and how you work. Because the only thing more frightening than change is waking up one day and realizing that nothing around you changed, because you never did.
