If you do not create change, change will create you.

Change is inevitable in life. It is a part of our life. Changes may either be positive or negative. When we are tired of doing something we welcome a new change. When we are upset we wait for a change of phase, we await happiness. But sometimes, when we are happy we fear the change which may cause disappointments. It's the way of life: whether we like it or not a change is bound to happen. This can be understood in a very simple way by a short story of a mother camel and her baby.

A mother camel and her baby were lying down, soaking up the sun. The baby camel asked his mom, “Why do we have these big bumps on our back

The mom stopped to think and then said, “We live in the desert where there is not much water available. Our humps store water to help us survive on long journeys.

The baby camel then stopped to think and said, “Well, why do we have long legs with rounded feet?”

His mother replied, “They are meant to help us walk through the sand.”

The baby asked the third question, “Why are my eyelashes so long?”

The mother replied, “Your long eyelashes offer you protection from sand when it blows in the wind.”

The skills and abilities that we possess won’t be useful if we’re not in the right environment.

You’ve probably heard of a professional who ditched his or her career to follow their dreams – or the person who remains unfulfilled in their job but doesn’t try to make a change.

If you’re stuck in a career that isn’t the right fit, you have to do some self-reflection to realize where your strengths lie that is going to waste. Turn to people that you know the best as well as professionals in any given market so you can start thinking about what may be better for you. Think big and remain open to new ideas.

Finally, the baby said, “If we have all of these natural abilities given to us to walk through the desert, what’s the use for camels in the Zoo.
