What good "Change" brings...? Why do we strive for "Change" everytime?

We have all heard "Change is inevitable...", "Change is the only permanent thing in life..." ... And though we may accept or not, uncounciously everyone of us strives to bring some or the other change in our lives.... When we feel there is no change happening, we call it 'boring'...
Some of us may even fear Change externally,,, and may try to escape it as well...(happens with me,,,)... 
but i guess in the end all of us go through it...knowingly or unknowingly...

What happens in those moments when you have just shifted to the new happening... moments when you are still encountering change...? 
Something very intersting happened with me in such moments...After my wedding, i had to shift to my husband's house and eventhough it is in the same city, i was very anxious of the event since past couple of months... 
Now what happened when i shifted....
i had already left my mom-dad house to shift to my husband's place (as per the indian tradition... :-/), still unknown to the surroundings and the new environment, new people, everything new... and suddenly i realised that the level of my presence of mind had improved drastically... 
"Live in the present moment" came so effortlessly... and this led to a series of miracles around me! (miracle since it would have been almost impossible otherwise...) ... i could actually start doing minial things that i thought were never possible for me...  small things that required a lot of effort earlier became effortless... like remembering smallest of things to carry from upper floor to ground floor (for which earlier i would have had to climb stairs 50 times..., managing multi tasking which included not only taking care of personal needs and office but also the family needs and a lot more... it was all happening and i was myself so amazed by the actions happening through me....

This is what happens with most of us when we are undergoing the process of change.... when we come out of routine to do something... suddenlly the level of awareness increases so much that you effortlessly start performing better and feeling better... we start living in the present moment and 100% comes so easily.. 

Eventually all of us strive to be in that beautifull state of consciousness where you are 100% in the presence moment.. and this to certain extent clarifies why we strive for constant change,,,,

The best part is on the path of seva - sadhana - satsang, one need not wait for major changes to experience "being in present moments".... such moments of are not very difficult to experience...
