For the most part I am not afraid of change as long as it doesn't impact me in a way that causes a dramatic change.  Sometimes change is good depending on the occasion.

Some people have it hard and don't try to better themselves and it's not like they aren't intelligent enough or don't have means to do so they just simply are afraid of change. I work with a girl who is one of those people and when she's asked to learn something new at work she is set in her ways and wants nothing to do with it. She's very smart but chooses to stay in the same position at her retail job instead of going to school or trying something new. I know I'm sometimes guilty of feeling that way as well, change is scary and sometimes you lose memories and people you care about along the way. So I was wondering who else was afraid of change and to what extent.

I, personally, am not afraid of change but it does depend on the "change" we're talking about.  If it's to better yourself, I'm all for it and I think that anyone who doesn't "go for it" is missing out.

I'm terrible with change.  I would like all things in my life to just stay the same.  I know that can't happen,,,,,,,   But I can always HOPE !! :-\ :-\ :heart:

I am not afraid of change, I just do not like change.  I am getting better at it and I am willing to except change and it is not bad you just have to go with the flow.

I wouldn't say that I am afraid of change.  It is kind of scary.  I am suppose to move where my daughter lives.  I'm torn because I have lived here all my life and love my house.

I don't consider myself afraid of change. But sometimes I think it is easier to keep things the same when they are working right. However, I am about to change the model I am using for financial aspects of my life. It's a huge risk and is taking a lot of faith on my part.

You can find me on Youtube!

I am not afraid of change but, I would not like change just for change sake. Change for the good is good, where change for bad is bad. So I guess I'm saying change can be good or change can be bad, it has to be thought out like anything else. I guess that is my 2 cents which is also change!! Ha Ha ::)

I have no problem with change, many times it can be a good thing and sometimes not so good you learn to roll with the punches. 

But for the most part forever learning helps to keep the mind sharp and puts one at a good advantage when it comes to job promotions.  It's good to learn as much as possible this could possibly be the different between you receiving a job promotion and someone else getting the position you want.  :peace:

Absolutly not afraid of change.   Life is all about changes and how you deal with them.

Truly depends on the situation. I like change under some circumstances and not others. Risky is not ideal for me, bc I have to be careful with my health. For example, I would love to find a different job, but cannot lose benefits/health insurance due to chronic severe illness, so i have to play it safe and stay in a job i dont care for.

I am not afraid of change. It depends on what it is but sometimes I will accept it, and other times I do not want to.

It depends on the situation. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
