Change is hard. It's scary, uncertain, and it can often be uncomfortable. That's why so many people resist it. They cling to the familiar, even if it's no longer working for them. These people are afraid to change, and as a result, they miss out on opportunities and growth. But change is also necessary. It's what allows us to evolve, grow, and become better versions of ourselves.

5. Why fix what isn't broken?
6. I like the way things are now.
7. We don't need to change; we're doing just fine.
8. I have been here for years, and I am content with the way things are now.
