Why are we afraid of change?

I spent most of my life in FEAR, fear of what others thought, FEAR of bad things happening, FEAR of failure, FEAR of success.  Another unfamiliar place is the FEAR of change.  Often times we spend our lives in a sort of predictable madness.  I am reading a book by Dr. Phil and in it he talks about when he realized he was living a life meant for someone else until he changed it.  Often times I have considered moving but then I get full of fear, what if I don’t like it, what if we miss our old house? what if the neighbors drive us crazy?  And then I am reminded nothing is permanent What if I turn the tables-what if we do move and it is the best house, in the best neighborhood and it improves our quality of life and it was the best decision?  What if god wants us to have our dreams and once we start moving toward them he already has the plans layed out for us to achieve them?  What if someone else needs the house you leave behind or the neighborhood or the experience.  As the saying goes if god brings you to it, he will bring you through it. SO for today I’m going to choose FAITH and to experience life and take healthy risks.  Otherwise what’s the point?  We are just playing it safe and not pushing ourselves into GREATNESS??
