Change is an integral part of life. To a large extent, you are the deciding factor in what change means within your life. Some changes in life you will want, others you won’t. Change isn’t always easy. We may be at a point in our lives when we are fed up with a particular situation, a particular pattern or habit that we have.

There are also changes in life that are very unwanted. For example all of the changes within this recent COVID world have been largely unsollicited by most of us.
