5 Reasons Change Is Good for You

We all know that change is hard because your brain is used to doing the same thing over and over again. 【1】 But the positive consequence is really great. Here are five reasons why change is good for you:

【2】

Life in the comfort zone is easy. You simply follow a routine and you can predict the consequences. Outside of the comfort zone, your assumptions are challenged. The idea of doing the same thing over and over without question is discouraged.

You get to experience more.

【3】 When you look back on your life, all of the really amazing things are because of a new experience you had. All of those vacations you took and all of the people you have met have taught you more than you ever learned in school. These experiences now make up who you are today.

You’ll be more flexible and adaptable.

Without doubt, change makes your more flexible and adaptable. You learn to deal with things in a way that seems foreign but acceptable and achievable. 【4】You begin to thrive(兴旺) in new situations because you have proven to yourself that you can, not only handle change, but FLOURISH.

You have more fun.

When you are open to change, you are open to saying YES to more. You are open to more experiences and opportunities. 【5】 When you add all of these things together, you are going to have a more colorful life and you’ll have a ton of fun figuring it all out along the way — there’s no doubt about it.

A. You are pushed out of your comfort zone.

B. Experience is waiting for you at the doorstep.

C. You have the opportunity to meet more people too.

D. Whether the change is good or bad for you, it does happen.

E. We also know how challenging it can be to go through change.

F. Then, you’ll be more confident when in the next uncomfortable situation.

G. Change is good because you have the chance to involve in new experiences.

Yang Li, a five-year-old girl living next door to me, very clever. Because she is too old to go to school, she often asks me to teach herself to read, write and draw. She studies hardly and soon she learns a lot of. One evening last month I was doing my English homeworks when she came to my house. She asked me how I learned English. “You would find English a bridge to so much knowledge,” I said. She then wanted to learn English, either. She has learned many English words so far, but her parents are very grateful to me.
