Change

Change is inevitable, it happens whether you want it to or not. Individuals who embrace change and understand its place in the world will roll with it and even enjoy it. Those who don’t well they tend to fight it and flounder. Socrates said, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Change is a wonderful thing it gets your blood going it makes you look at things differently and it is all about the way you look at it. When you accept change you face new challenges head on, when you fight change you fight the ability to advance. Some people fight change and never learn that change is constant so fighting it is useless.

How do you react to change? Do you embrace it? As you wake up being ready for change means being prepared for anything that comes your way. When change finds you, as it inevitably does, do you roll with it or let it defeat you. Recently, the company I work for made some changes that did not go over well with the field. Some complained, some quit, others acted like nothing happened and the leaders embraced the change and showed how to adapt to the change and continued on their road to success. It was ironic the leaders went about their business as if there was no change while others complained and let it affect them. The reason I believe that these leaders embraced the change and proceeded as if there was no change was because they understood that change is a process and not an event. I will leave you with this thought, “Change is difficult but not changing will be fatal.”
