Why is it so difficult to accept change in life?

I have had many things happening in my life recently. I have been through hard choices, tough moments and juggling between my past and present. It is so difficult to start new chapters of life - either from a professional or personal front. Why is it so difficult to accept the changes in life? How do you cope?

Philosophically, a change in life is not as simple as changing a shirt or the colors of the walls. Change in life is related to so many many things that it makes it almost impossible to find out which aspect (or affected part of life) will head towards the right or the wrong. All is fine if everything goes right, but we are humans, and take the wrongs more seriously. Amidst this we forget the other good things that might have happened due to the change. Interesting discussion and I would love discussing more on this for sure

I am going to have to see how a big change works for me, as I am teetering on the brink of one now. Good luck with yours.

I never had problems with changes on the professional front. On the personal front I have had a devastating failure which caused a nervous breakdown during 2 years. I have had to put myself in question to overcome it, and I am different now, more indulgent for me and others than I was before. Like Nietzsche wrote, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

I think it becomes difficult because we get comfortable in the current situation we are in. And to have to change that is like uprooting a tree. We are creatures of habit. So, it becomes our routine. But sometimes we have to choice but to change things up and start over again. As hard as it may seem, we do eventually get used to the new changes.
