Do you fear of changes?

    Life is unpredictable. I cannot plan everything in my life. Things would not happen exactly the way I anticipate. When my customer’s business has been ceased to develop new products suddenly by last week, how can I handle a job in a new organization? What should I prepare before changing to a new position? When a Chinese-Taiwan war seems to be happen, what should I move to avoid the disastrous consequence? If my family request me to return back to Malaysia, what should I do with my love dogs?

    Change is a part of life. Some of it will come as blessings, other parts will come as lessons. Pain is a part of life. Yet suffering the climate change, human conflicts, life changes—good or bad, we cannot control over it. Sometimes I just have to accept them and roll with the punches. It is not easy to come with change, but I do have options to choose my response to change, better or worsen.

    When I am comfortable, I am stagnant in a comfort zone. I am in charge of my own story. No matter which choice I made, or how many times I went back to the drawing board and started over, eventually come to an end.

    Impermanence is one of the most basic elements of life. Change is inevitable. If the war is coming, I can just accept it by sitting around and waiting for it to happen, or I can actively craft my response to it before it come. China is holding a second day of its biggest military drills around Taiwan. Most of Taiwanese are looking at the developments with caution instead of excessive fear. However, I have transferred my 80% saving accounts amount to the US dollar in two days. Beyond that, I have bought a lot of canned foods and several packets of rice on Monday midnight. It sounds sarcastic, but it might not mean to be. Fear of the unknown is natural, but it does help you to avoid some inconvenience.
