Cambio es el sólo constante

I remember seeing this question in one of my GP papers: "Change is the only constant. Do you agree?"

I never disagreed to that. But I question, from time to time, if changes are really necessary and how often its pros outweighs its cons. 

There's been a fair bit of change at work lately. People leaving, people transferring, changes in job scope and portfolio... 

I see it happening all around me and silently resign to it, after all the world's but a stage. And on this stage, backdrops, sets, props and casts changes. 

But never ever did I imagine myself to be thrown right onto this stage, right in the middle of the spotlight. 

Seeing change from another perspective, everything seems so real. I'm no longer the faceless silent audience watching the show go on. I have become part of the cast, who'll have to adapt and react to the script as the show goes on. 

And this is difficult. Just when I've become comfortable with what I'm doing; just when I've started to take ownership with whatever I do; just when I think I've started to know my colleagues better, I have to let go.

It is difficult, especially when I ain't quite sure if I really welcome it. 

One can always anticipate but when the real thing comes, one might still stumble. I think I'm stumbling.
