Answer:

The answer is D. He encourages people to accept change without fear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although nothing in my life was changing, I suddenly found myself overwhelmed by change—and the changes were happening to all the people who are closest to me. My father was recovering from a life-threatening accident. My brother was moving in with his girlfriend. My sister broke up with her boyfriend. My best friend was quitting her job to travel the world. Another good friend announced her second pregnancy. All of a sudden, everyone around me was going through a major life change. Were they having trouble accepting change, too? Emotions flooded through me and I felt like Jo March in Little Women. "Why must everything change? Why can’t everything stay the same?" I cried to my therapist. Then I was overcome with another fear: Do I need to make a life change now, just like everyone else? That’s when my therapist said, “Legend, one of the only constant things in life is change.” It’s true. Every single thing—from the trendiest styles of jeans to the shows on television—is constantly in flux. So why is it so hard to accept change when it occurs? If life is all about changes, and the changes define who we become, why can’t we understand it, anticipate it, and move on? When change is unwelcome, it’s crucial to grieve the loss, then accept it and move on. When a change initially occurs, it can feel like you are losing something—a friend or a job. But you don’t know what will happen in the future. What could feel like a loss now could end up being a win later. Life is constantly moving forward, and nine times out of 10, you'll look back years later and think, "Thank goodness I made that change," or "That change was so hard at the time, but it was necessary to lead me to the better, more positive place I am today."
