We’re not happy where we are, yet we’re afraid to jump off the ledge, afraid of the unknown. We say we want change, but at the same time, it terrifies us. Whatever situation we’re in, even if it’s painful, sometimes it’s more comfortable to stay where we are because it seems even more uncomfortable to make any change. Everyone desires change of some sort, but many of us don’t know how to achieve it. We commit to New Year’s resolutions, but by February we’re right back where we started.
