Without change life would be awfully boring. I can't fathom why people would take the one thing in life that is truly their own - their time - and waste it doing the same thing over and over endlessly, particularly something they don't like particularly much (like most people tend to think about their jobs). A job is a means to an end. One thing that drives me nuts about New England is how people tend to live and die by their jobs and define themselves by them. It's a very regional thing. One should care about what they do and do it well but not define themselves by it. It happens to an extent I've never seen anywhere else I've lived.

Finally I agree with not engaging in "change for change's sake" but using it as a tool to make oneself better or happier. If something bugs you - DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! You have exactly two options: (1) piss and moan or (2) change it. It really is that simple.

Finally I'll just say (as has been) that the only constant in the universe is change. Nothing is static. Learn ways to deal with changing situations, know yourself, hone your values and you'll deal successfully with whatever life throws at you. Simply trying to be a rock and assuming you're invincible or that you've got it all figured out will end badly - nobody is and what works today might not tomorrow.

All the best.
