A metaphor is a figure of speech or a symbol that gives richness to our vocabulary. Metaphors can be categorised and discussed at length but I am mainly interested in the metaphors that people use when they want to explain their problem and are looking for a change.
Some metaphors about change express change through the environment, some through the weather and many more related to all areas of life. Here are some examples of metaphors that I hear that tell me someone is thinking about change.
- Its the season of change
- I’m in the driving seat
- I feel like I am being dragged along…
- I feel like I am climbing a mountain.
- It’s an uphill journey…
- I’m on a roller coaster…
From today I wonder how many ways of expressing change you might notice? How many metaphors of change can you add to my list?
