Change is indeed difficult. But not necessarily because what's on offer isn't better. Part of the resistance is our comfort with small problems. Things which work reasonably well, get the job done despite any minor inconveniences are okay for now. Add to this any sunk cost, whether it be money, time, or status invested in the current thing and the price of changing goes up even more. And finally, our attachment to the immediate and unwillingness to see a better future, despite logic and provable truth is often too powerful to overcome.
What happens when it works? What story do we tell ourselves about the risks and rewards? What level of discomfort is no longer tolerable? When does status and the pressure of fitting in with the the new idea, technology or way of doing things start to gain traction? When does it become clear our problems are better solved? And, why didn't we see all of this sooner?
The harbor feels safe because it is...right now. It's the best option at the moment. But this too will change, no matter what we hope or believe. But, we also get to choose...whether to be curious, to poke around, to consider other options. And most importantly, we get to choose to change...and make things better. Choose wisely.
