There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in travelling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place."Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated."
The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam,narrated on the authority of Amirul Mu'minin, Abu Hafs 'Umar bin al-Khattab

Growth is the only evidence of life.
~John Henry Newman, Apologia pro vita sua, 1864~
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation:
If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish.
If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.
If you want to truly understand something, try to change it.
~Kurt Lewin~
Continuity gives us roots;
change gives us branches,
letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.
