Who here finds it hard to instigate change?

[The Robot Lord of Tokyo]

A conversation I had tonight made me realize something: I don't make bold decisions in my life. I may have bold actions but I tend to find that those actions I do because I realize that they will not impact the status quo in my life but only strengthen the path that I'm on. It seems that the only way things change in my life is on a reactionary basis vs a proactive stance.
Now....this isn't necessarly a bad thing. Stability can have its merrits. But in terms of growing as a person....it can have it's negativities.
It reminds me of the end of Clerks when Randell is cursing out Dante because he is indecisive.
I'm not at that point but I get the point of view.....
Who else sees their life as this?

I think I'm this way too. I'm slow to make changes in my life, it takes me a while to do so. but I'm not a fast paced person to begin with. and its not because I'm scared, its just that from experience i've kind of learned that its not good to make change if you have a good thing. or if you have a good thing going for you then there better be a real good reason to change it.

I'm like that that I've only had two jobs my entire life.
I'm great at the job i do but if I was more aggressive I'd be alot higher up and be making more money. But my concern is that by trying to be bolder also raises the risk of fucking up more and putting at risk what I do now.
I just keep seeing my peers getting moved up around me and that's because of the chances they take.....but I see alot of those same risk takers ending up on their face.
I worked hard for what I have......and I don't want to lose it.....

I instigated change just an hour ago. Instead of buying my usual Coors Light, I switched tried Michelob Honey Lager instead. See? It's not that hard.

Not me. I make all decisions almost randomly based on what I feel like doing.

I took a piss sitting down once on a whim.

Well, sure, but any changes that are more difficult than "should I stop drinking cold piss?" can take a little more effort.

I decided the other day I was going to work toward joining the Peace Corps. Unfortunately opportunities for charitable work for the resume seem to be rare in this town.
