Need for Change?

Ever notice how the energy in a room changes when someone who never opens their mouth, shares their astute thoughts. It is electric! I really enjoy the energy that that brings. Firstly, everyone is thinking - "Wow! X speaks"; "What did X say?.. What did I miss?"; "Everyone is staring at X and X does not care - how can I divert attention back to myself?". And a few are thinking "Gee- I did not know X had such a clear head".  The same is true when Y, who is known to be very traditional, suddenly chops of their long pinnal and comes to work in a very smart and stylish haircut. The sudden outburst or unpredictable action gives life to the otherwise routine, drab, boring schedule, meeting, or get-together :) 

X may have wanted to share his thoughts for a while but it happened on that particular occasion, either out of sheer boredom or simply wanting to express oneself. Y may have always wanted to go in for short hair but could not because of some restrictions - familial or otherwise. But, she did it on that particular day.

Sometimes, change comes to us - we are not expecting it - and we may not like it - but it comes all the same.  Our entire life goes through the motions as we adjust to the changing scenario. And sometimes, we need to bring change to our lives. When we bring change into our lives, we always think that we control all the aspects. Actually, change is unpredictable as always - whether it comes to you or whether you bring it to your life. In fact, the unpredictability and the energy it brings is the best part about change. I am not saying its easy but you have to and so why not with a smile :)

On another note, I saw Mystic River, it had be bawling! Seriously! Great movie. Watch it when you have the time.
