Why do you think people resist change? What is the best way to live in a world where everything seems unpredictable?

When the status quo is perceived to be satisfactory. When the purpose of change is not clearly understood. When people become engaged in short-term, myopic thinking. When the change agent is not trusted or respected. When those affected by it are not involved in the planning. When those affected lack courage and self-confidence. One of the keys to coping with the unpredictability and seeming unfairness of life is acceptance––accepting that this is the way things are and that you need to work around it and find pathways that allow you to thrive better. If you still can't seem to understand or accept, explore the suggestions here for how to accept life the way it is, and Live it to the fullest.
