Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to reamin the same but get better...

People aren’t used to that way of thinking. They want everything to stay the same—and the consequence of that is pain,”.

Most people want everyone else in the world to change but themselves.

Everybody wants to change others.

Nobody wants to be changed.

lots of people wish for change, really, really want it, are willing to invest the time and money into it, but are ultimately not willing to get uncomfortable enough to actually make anything happen.

Change is the one thing that everybody hollers for and longs for, but when it actually arrives, most people don't want it. It's a complex thing.

People want to change their lives. They want to change other people’s lives, too. They want to change the injustices they see. They want to change the whole damn world. But they do not want to change themselves. (Not their image. Not their appearance. Not their worldly success. Themselves.) Which is, as it turns out, the one thing they can change. The one thing that must change first.

People are usually afraid of change because they fear the unknown. But the single greatest constant of history is that everything changes.

Many people want to change their life, but they are not will to change their choices, and ultimately this changes nothing.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves.

People who talk incessantly about "change" are often dogmatically set in their ways. They want to change other people.

People don’t fear change. They fear loss.

The loss of comfort. The loss of certainty. The loss of who they thought they were.

When people say they don't want to change what they really mean is they don't have an incentive to change.

Change the incentives and the behavior follows suit.

You’ll often hear that people don’t like change, but that’s not quite right. People have no problem with change they asked for. What people don’t like is forced change — change they didn’t request on a timeline they didn’t choose. Your “new and improved” can easily become their “what the fuck?” when it is dumped on them as a surprise.
