Accept the Change

I remember a SMS which I received sometime back

"You shouldn't expect change other always.
You should bring the change required.

-By 23C bus conductor."

Though we always say and hear philosophical phrases
"changes are inevitable", "change is the only thing which never changes"
But how many of us are really accepting or ready to accept the change?

If you think, I am going to bring in some political or social issue topic. No you are wrong :)

An M.I.T. neuroscientist named Ann Graybiel and her colleagues conducted behavior study on their wired rats inside maze. They observed that rat's mental activity decreased when the rat learned to solve the maze. When they tried again and again rat was able to solve the maze faster with decreasing use of brain. Which means, it becomes as habit than a behavior. [Source: www.nytimes.com]

Similarly, we humans when refrain to change and follow a regular pattern/approach. Our brain is loosing its ability. So keep changing intentionally.  Believe me it will be refreshing.

Few practices like, next time when you time you travel in bus give up the window seat. Take a different route way back to home from office(plan the timings if you are trying the home - office route). Spend your weekend in a different location (it definitely need not be a hill station or a hangout spot). Change your make over.  Disclaimer: you should be aware of the consequences of what ever you do. ;) and so on....

This will prevent us from disappointments and keeping our brain in alert mode . Since this is LIFE and nothing happens as expected. Expectation is sole cause of disappointment, stress and frustration. If you follow a regular pattern, your mind takes granted that you have solution for all problems.

So guys Be ready to change 'the change'.

Any comments?
