When I left my hometown for my graduation studies, at one of my mother’s regular gatherings one of my aunts asked me,
“Will you change?”
Without hesitation, I replied,
“Yes, with every cell in my body. Change is what I’ve planned for, and it’s what will take me forward.”
At that moment, I was ready to embrace change—both within me and around me. I knew my goals and desires would evolve, and I understood that it was this very change that would shape my journey.Today, while reading The Psychology of Money and reflecting on the chapter titled "You’ll Change," I was reminded of that conversation.
Morgan Housel discusses how long-term planning is harder than we think because our goals and desires naturally shift over time. It struck me—one of the most common interview questions is, “What are your long-term plans?” Yet, the answer isn’t always clear-cut because life is full of unexpected changes.
Endurance, Housel writes, is key. The tendency to change who we are is inevitable. The challenge lies in finding balance at every stage of life, developing strategies to avoid regret, and fostering the resilience to keep adapting. As he puts it, the key is to accept the reality of change and adapt as quickly as possible.
I resonate deeply with this. Embrace the transformation within and around you—it’s the only way forward.
