Changes.

I am a firm believer that change is a necessary part of life.

Though I also understand that there is often a fear associated with change.

To put it simply, change is the loss of one thing to achieve another. But nothing is ever that simple, is it? Change comes in various degrees. For example, there would not be much thought in changing a burnt out light bulb, yet to quiet one job to take another across the country holds much more impact than just the level of lighting to find the TV remote.

A life-altering decision requires much thought and dozens of different factors. The fear stems from the unknown. How successful will you be? Will I find new friends? Where will I live? What will I do if zombies come? To fear the unknown is only human, I suppose.

But what most don't take into account is the potential for this change to have a surreal, positive impact. New people, new opportunity, new life. This is one of those things that can tell you whether you're a 'half full' or 'half empty' type of person.

As I stated, I'm a firm believer that change is a necessary part of life. If you're unwilling or unable to expand your horizons and experience the world, its people and what it has to offer, then you can't expect yourself to be cultured. There's an entire world out there filled with things you probably can't even imagine. If you want a fulfilling life, then you have to open your mind to different experiences and when opportunity knocks on your door, answer it.

The last thing you want is to look back after a few years and regret your choice. So before the zombies come, get out there.

Pretty soon it's going to be too late.
