As Human being, regardless of our race or gender, we never stop evolving, learning and growing. As we grow older, lots of changes such as puberty and maturity happen naturally. Others, such as falling in love or losing a loved one are often the results of life’s events or the aftermath of our own decisions such as getting married, having children, getting a job etc.
Human nature is bound to change whether we want it to or not, change is inevitable. We are all without a doubt subject to it either in our personal and / or professional life. Therefore, when we face any change, there are certain questions that we should ask ourselves:
” Can I prevent this change?”,” What have I gained from this change?”, “Is this change a progress or not?”. Despite our answers to these and many other questions, it is our attitude before and during these changes that will determine our gain. And yes! There is always a gain with changes. This is the reason why we must adopt certain attitudes to ensure a massive and capital gain. Here are a few of them:
- There is always a lesson to be learned from a situation, event or change.
- Our attitude during the stages of change will determine how difficult it will be to adapt to that change.
- We have the power to choose who we want to be despite life’s challenges.
- We humans are more resilient and stronger than we accept or believe.
Quite often, we wake up thinking about yesterday’s setbacks and forgetting about the pleasant surprises that tomorrow has in store for us. Or worse, we fail by failing to ask ourselves this question: “What change can I make today to be better than yesterday?”.
To all of these questions my friends, there is not a best answer nor a one size fits all answer. To each its own route and destination, but in the turbulent ride of everyday life:
Look,
Not with the eyes of all but with those of your Heart
Speak,
Not by hurting but rather by healing the wounds
Say,
Not words causing pain but ascending with joy
Call,
Not out of obligation but with the desire to hear or see
Love,
Not for what can be offered you but for what is
Long,
Not like the madness of some but with the strength that does not wither
Help,
Not in the hope of exploiting but with the certainty of good deeds
Advise,
Not with the goal of reliving your life but of building someone else's
Listen,
Not to better destroy but to support and encourage
Understand,
Not by giving a false impression but by reassuring
Smile,
Not only with your teeth but especially with your soul
Be,
Not the one your entourage wants but the one you want
We are all the recipient of a precious gift “life”, and regardless of how call this gift make the daily decision to live it fully and to remain yourself.

Change is often resisted. However, it can sometimes be a catalyst for something better. We all need to go out of our comfort zone to be able to grow and succeed.

So true! even a bad thing happening can lead to a positive change so we have to take a step back, look at it again and then proceed.
Jasleyv
Absolutely, We may not see the benefits immediately as we would want it to be but taking a different look at the situation certainly helps.
Amanda
Great post! It can be very hard to be positive in the midst of change but we all have to try!

It is challenging but the fruits of being positive and keeping our eyes on the prize are marvelous!

This is great! I used to be terrible at handling change when I was younger, but now I have gotten much better at embracing the positives of it.
