This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really, there is no normal. There is only change and resistance to it and then more change.
Meryl Streep
Introduction
During your lifetime things have been changing constantly so that when you look back on your younger self you are amazed at the things that you now take for granted (mobile phones, the internet, wind turbines, cycle lanes, electric cars, barcodes, iPads, Amazon, Google, plasma TVs, men pushing baby buggies). There are also things that have disappeared: people smoking in restaurants, cinemas and on aeroplanes, metal dustbins, cheque books, many local pubs and small shops, Woolworths, Comet, videos, records and cameras with films.
And it's not just technology that has changed in your lifetime. Natural disasters, such as the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004, Hurricane Katrina and the Pakistan earthquake in 2005 affect us all, for a while, as we become one world in the face of such destruction and devastation. Similarly, world events like the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), the Channel Tunnel (1994), 9/11 (2001), the election of America's first black president (2008), even records being broken in the Olympics (and Murray winning Wimbledon), change the way that we see the world and consequently, the way that we see ourselves.
We may welcome new gadgets in the belief that they make our lives easier, and we may regret the passing of the familiar things from our past, but the one certainty in life is that everything changes. Your personal life too will have changed: nobody stays the same person they were as a teenager. Can you remember a favourite book, or film, or band, or hobby, a person you admired, or your ambitions as a teenager? They would almost certainly be different to your choices today. The experiences you have had in your life have changed your attitude and will continue to do so.
In your life so far you will have passed through different phases. As a child you thought that you could be anything you wanted to be: if anyone asked, your answers might have varied from astronaut, to explorer, from vet to footballer, from author to musician. As a teenager, you probably felt confused and began to change or modify your aspirations. As a young adult, you may have begun to have doubts about whether you had chosen the right path. You will certainly have had some successes and relationships and achievements that make you feel proud of yourself. As your life progresses, it becomes complicated by relationships and ambition and social status.
Your life so far may not have been easy: you may have had accidents or illnesses, you may have been lied to or betrayed, you may have done things that you now regret. You may have found yourself doing things in order to fit in with others in your social circle or to make yourself feel secure in the future. Whatever resentment or sadness you feel about the past, it's over and only exists when you choose to recall it. There is no point in raging against the unfairness of life, or missed opportunities, or comparing yourself to those who seem to have it easy.
Many of the changes that have happened in your life have simply happened you have had no choice in the matter. But you are not a helpless pawn in the game of your life; you have also made decisions that have changed the course of your life so far. When you make a change in your life, it can simply mean that you stop doing something that you have been doing (such as spending money on coffee everyday); or you stop doing something and replace it with something better (like cycling instead of driving to work); or you decide to add something new to your life (like volunteering).
If you have tried, but failed, to make changes in the past (such as when you made a New Year's Resolution), it may be because the goal that you set was too big or too general. Making a decision to go on a diet or to take more exercise is often doomed to failure because the ambition is too wide-ranging and open to disappointment. You may have had a feeling of hopelessness when things go wrong, but everything you have tried in the past is useful. You have not failed if you learn from your experiences and if you are determined to keep on trying.
You may have a sense of dissatisfaction or discontent with your life at the moment but feel anxious about making a decision that you may regret. It may seem safer to let things stay as they are and to settle for what you already have. You may unconsciously be waiting for something to happen that will cause you to make a change.
It takes courage to examine your life and to decide that there are things you would like to change, and it takes even more courage to do something about it. Research shows that when you are young you tend to worry about making a change because you are afraid that things might go wrong that you might make the wrong decision. When, you get older, however, you tend to regret the things you didn't do (rather than the things you did).
