It has been said that the only constant in life is CHANGE! This is so radically and intrinsically truthful YET why do so many of us fail to grasp CHANGE in fact even pursue it?
As I evaluate my experiences in working with people for the past two decades I can sum up the struggles with adapting and accepting change to this simple statement, “If I accept change that means what I have been doing or always have done was wrong!” WOW!!! Have you ever felt that way? I admit that I feel that way every single time I move forward in change.
If I change as a husband that means I must have been a shitty husband before. If I change the way my Insurance business runs that means I was a terrible business owner before. If I change the way I look in my health and fitness that means I was a terrible, unhealthy person before! “CHANGE IS GOOD AND IT DOESN’T MEAN WHAT YOU DID WAS BAD”
Change in any area of our lives is the only way to gain new perspectives. Tomorrow can never repeat itself….LET ME REPEAT THAT! Tomorrow can never repeat itself…IMPOSSIBLE! That means if yesterday was a GREAT day or yesterday was the WORST day it doesn’t matter it can never be exactly the same. Our lives are in constant change, our bodies are in constant change, our relationships are in constant change, our business is in constant change. When YOU can accept this reality…you become FREE!
THOUGHTS TO PONDER TODAY: Are you fearful of change because you see you may have been inadequate before? Have you ever stopped to realize that nothing is every EXACTLY the same, it cannot be and thus CHANGE IS CONSTANT? Where in your world are you fighting CHANGE instead of embracing and seeking the new perspective it can offer? Are you really willing to go back to how things were, even if you could? What would the past be able to offer you that the future of unlimited potential could outweigh? I challenge you today to face the area of your life you are most fighting change and answer the question WHY? And lastly, instead of fighting it, embrace it and experience the possibility! CHANGE IS GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY, why don’t you control it the best you can and direct it. As Ghandi once said, “BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD!”
