I really don't know how to categorize the day today. It was as if I was in some sort of a twilight zone. The day began extremely normal, but then things started picking up. I am not the kind of guy who likes change. But then there are times when you cannot avoid it. Its good to properly space out change in your life but when different facets of your life starts changing simultaneously, it becomes a little overwhelming.
I think its a lot more easier dealing with it once you come to terms with it. If you believe that you were not just a result of a night of passion and that your existence has a reason, then I guess it becomes easier to deal with the idea of change. You change and move ahead to fulfill your "raison d'être", your reason for being. And suddenly the small sacrifices or rather problems that you face due to the change becomes negligible and you realize that it's all for the good.
Though there is one question which I still need to think about. Everyone wants a life which is secure and comfortable. But aren't these two ideas in opposition to change? You wouldn't want to change your way of living or circumstance if its secure and comfortable. You wouldn't want to change it. But then again to grow, you need to change. In that case, I guess one needs to define growth. Each may have his own definition of it but as long as everyone has a growth plan, its all alright. So what it all boils down to is that everyone wants security and comfort (a static state) but everyone needs to change for growth (live a dynamic life). Its again an issue of "want" and "need" :)
Another observation from the above point is that what if we keep changing? Never enter a comfort zone that renders us static. Every time you see that you are getting comfortable, move on, leave your comfort behind and pursue the growth (provided you have defined it). Something like the character in the movie "Bawarchi". You step into a place which needs your input and which in exchange helps you fulfill a part of your reason for existence and then once you are satisfied with your work, you leave.

Yes indeed. In your case you have decided to change your life so you are in charge of the situation. But sometimes life doesn't ask for your permission and changes come unexpectedly when you are least prepared. Then you will certainly have a hard time if you base your life on that idea of comfort and security. Getting out of your comfort zone, sounds like a good plan :)
