What motivates people to change?

I think that primarily the duty and constraint motivates people to change. Especially when we talk about change in social life. People change workplaces if they are offered a better one, or if they need to find another one. They are willing even to move to a different town, country. They are also willing to move if this brings change in their personal life, for example a new love. I would say that everyone can be motivated to change in one way or the other. The problem is that in most of these people’s life these motivations are external. Only few people are willing to change because it comes from inside, because its what they really want. People are afraid to change, because they think negative. They are afraid of the “what if” question? What if it goes wrong? What if I fail? …..so many “what if”-s instead of thinking that a change always brings something new in our life which might be good…..not necessarily bad.
