“I like not knowing how things will turn out!” Said no one, ever.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t like change. And, sometimes I would rather be a little bit unhappy with my life, and at least know what to expect, than to change things and not know what’s going to happen next. However, things change whether we want them to or not. The trick is to take action to have things change and move into a direction that is positive for you.
