to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of(something) different from what it is or from what it would beif left alone: to change one's name; to change one's opinion;to change the course of time.
This is my favorite definition of the word that seems to be the most problem for people stuck in a rut. It is weird as I write about this situation as it is a very personal situation to myself. I seemed to be stuck in a rut for the longest. My symptoms my be similar or much different then yours, but I am just going to throw them out there.
First off-Dead End Job-I had one working for a corporation that could give a damn if I was there for twenty years or three days. Lets be honest there was no where to move to it really was not worth it. And most importantly I did not hate it but it did not make me a better person at the end of the day.
Second-No Life! That is right work was my life. I didn't have time to hang out with friends or family because of it. Hell the thing that took the biggest hit was my music. I couldn't record a song to save my life because on my days off I had to do laundry or sleep. Trying to catch up with everything was impossible because I was always behind. I used my days off to pay bills and run because I could not do it during the week. I was pitiful!!!
Third-Monotony- I really hate that word as everyday played out exactly the same. Not the same situation but the same situation. Up, work, home, insomnia, sleep for three hours, and rinse and repeat. You would think I was like fifty, but no no far from it. This is almost the worst but there that will stick to everyone.
Fourth and the Worst-Comfort-Nothing is more wrong then a person being stuck in a situation because it is comfortable. Knowing that the situation is not getting them anywhere. They are not really enjoying much of anything. And they believe it is what society would want them to do. Simple as stating they are seeking a life of the dreaded NORMALCY. Comfort in things the way they are destroy more people then cancer, aids, or any extended watching of anything involving MTV or BET.
I speak from experience because I have been comfortable and when it is actually taken from you. A person beings to panic because they don't know how to deal with the situation. It is like making a rich person poor or Taylor Swift losing the mic to Kanye, what do you do. Change is the number one fear of people and they don't even know it. Fact is that most people can't adapt to change let alone bring it on themselves. Funny this is all going back to settling (If you haven't read it you need to!). I have no clue about why it scares people but it does. People just automatically assume that change is for the worst. If it is mentioned something you are doing is not right or it isn't up to par. That is more far from the truth then anything being said. Change is usually made to strengthen what you are doing right. Even if everything is wrong how is changing going to make things any worst then what they are. People always look at change from an emotional standpoint and never logical.
No I am not saying everything has to be from a logical standpoint. Gut feelings my friends if you have them are the greatest weapon against anything in this world. Unless yours are usually wrong then you need to do the exact opposite. But not everything in the world need emotional input. Hard to say that if the change is going to move you away from friends and family, but at the same time where are they going. If they are you real friends they have been there for years and I am pretty sure your family is not going to hate you. Matter in fact by doing something different you are going to make new friend to add to your circle. The best things come from change. Hell black people should know all about it, sad thing is most don't. If things were not build on change nothing would get anywhere.
So what is that rant all about. It is amazing how many people deny change because they cannot control it. I myself have been living my life on change for the past four months. If there wasn't so much change I would have never finished my last mix tape. I probably would have stopped rapping, gave up something that I believed in and became my mother. Don;t get me wrong but my mother settled in more ways then one. Love her to absolute death but I wish she would of changed something for herself. I make change. I am not going to sit around and just hope for things to happen. I make them happen. I am not scared of change because the worst it can do is bring on a new challenge. Challenges are what I live for. If there are no challenge at least I am damn sure to learn something. I am not born of the same cloth as most people nor are the people I hang around. I am not scared by what is different or something new. I embrace it. If I did not I would still be stuck at Gamestop. Why did I lose a job because I would not reform and become something I wasn't. I changed the game on the way people ran things and I got results. Seems to go for every other things that I put my hands on. Change is the simplest thing you can do to enhance you life, but why would you not do it when nothing else is working.
I am not saying put down what you are doing and make the biggest change in your life. If you need to handle that if you don't. Start small eat something different, listen to music outside of your norm, read about a different culture, hang with a different crowd. Open your mind to a new experience you might be surprise. I have been surprised by it enough times that I am willing to almost try anything once, unless it is stupid or only asking for trouble. Believe in yourself to initiate and deal with change. And if someone is sending you some negative energy on it. Prove them wrong, prove them all wrong. One person can change the world but not before they can change themselves. Simple Enough. Guess you will have to find out yourself.
