The Sacrifice of Change

You only let go of comfort when you have no other option.
Every situation has elements you want to change. But most do not pursue change. Why? Because those are part of your overall experience. They are a necessary evil in the trade off of the things you do like.
One of the areas people think about changing is their work situation. Most jobs are redundant and feel stagnate after only a couple of months. Few of us like waking up early and going to work every day but we continue to do it. That is because the trade off is a paycheck deposited in your bank account on Friday afternoon. The paycheck allows you to go out with friends, afford your house, groceries, car, phone, etc. You could change the fact that you have to go to work but you would subsequently change the fact that you receive a paycheck and many of the pillars of your life would be in jeopardy as a result.
If losing your paycheck is a change you don’t want to make you also won’t change going to work each day. Only if work becomes unbearable would you be willing to sacrifice something as valuable as your paycheck.
