As humans, we have a pang of sadness as the familiar passes. Having found a comfortable port, we have to set sail for a new horizon. We resist it but isn’t that what this life is about, …the journey and what we make of the journey.

One of my colleagues, the late Dr O.C. Smith performed a great song with these lyrics: “Everything must change; nothing stays the same”. How true that is. We are surrounded by change.

Often we hold onto the familiar just as kids we held onto our security blankets. We hold onto people and places because there is comfort in the familiar. Sometimes we hold onto people and organizations because we are not in control of our own destiny, masters of our own ship. Often we unconsciously and subtly give over responsibility for our lives and our thinking to them with a feeling of relief that we do not have to be in charge. We have found a parent figure that psychologically comforts us.

Yet each child must leave home. And so must we.

To quote Gone With The Wind: "Tomorrow is another day". Rush to the new horizon and enjoy the journey.
