2023-01-24 What’s the outcome?

If you can’t think of a good outcome, stop trying to change. Because change is only good for one reason: Improvement.

Will a change of scenery really solve the reason you needed that change in the first place?

If moving to a different city improves your life on the long-term because you have an opportunity waiting for you — move. But don’t move because you believe in a fairytale that big cities equal more opportunities.

That’s just one of the stories that people like to tell. And that particular story might have been true 100 years ago, but not today.

And there are thousands of other stories out there. My point is this: Challenge everything. Especially your own thinking process.

But the problem is that you can’t trust your own mind at times. We tend to lie to ourselves. Keep challenging yourself — because change for the sake of change is not a reason to change something. There are no silver bullets, so why search for one in change?

Instead, get down to the reason you want to change something. Sure, it requires introspection and patience. But that’s worth it, especially if you see that most changes are unnecessary or don’t solve any problems at all.

What you’ll find is that life is good the way it is. We can always find a silver lining. Change is merely optional.
