Intensive lifetime change: One day at a time

People are usually unwilling to change in their lives after being accustomed to a certain style of life. However, this can cause a lot of problems, as changing circumstances often make change in lifestyle inevitable. For example, those people who leave their country and go abroad for various reasons face many challenges. First they have the task to adapt to a new culture and habits that are completely different from what they were used to in their own country. They will also have to adapt to the weather and may need to learn a new language, or now, communicate regularly in a language other than their mother tongue, which they used more frequently before their relocation at some point in their lives.

The reasons for this may be varied and need not concern us here. Career changes inevitably necessitates the acquisition of a different set of skills and experiences in the new job, a new routine and adaptation to new friends and colleagues at work. In the face of economic recession and related circumstance, people may lose their jobs as the organization they work for try to adjust to the adverse situation by retrenching many of their workers (terms such as ‘down-sizing’, ‘right-sizing’ and ‘restructuring’ are the modern day euphemisms for the phenomenon) A worker who suddenly loses his or her job obviously has to adjust to a new lifestyle, at least until a new job comes along.

Closely related to job loss is retirement. Many people carry on at their jobs as if they will remain at such jobs forever. But retirement is inevitable not only for the paid worker but also for the self employed. Retirement in most cases means a change from an active working life to a more sedimentary lifestyle. It often requires giving up official property such as accommodation and vehicles and the replacement of a regular salary with a modest pension, which may not be regular. Because of these, the prospect of retirement is often viewed with apprehension by man, as they are not prepared for it.

Outside the work domain, other changes continue to take place. For example, at some point in their lives, young men and women come together and get married and start their own families. The transition from bachelorhood or spinsterhood of course means adaptation to a spouse, raising children, and discarding many of the habits, often reckless and impulsive, of unmarried life.

Finally, as painful and undesirable as it is , another inevitable change is the untimely loss of a loved one, a wife, husband, a parent or friend m. It often turned people’s lives upside down, and necessitates a drastic change in lifestyle. Many people never anticipate such a loss, and if unfortunately it does occur, it can be quite devastating.

In conclusion, people have to be ready for any changes that may occur in their lives, as change is inevitable and there is no guarantee for anyone that life will be stable forever.

Live positively, anticipate change, plan ahead and feel the energy...... @tomilolafadipe
