Change
Change is an inevitable part of life. If your life isn’t changing, you’re not living. You’re not growing. Most changes are unnoticeable, small and deemed insignificant. What easily gets our attention are the “big” changes. “Big” changes that include getting a new manager, losing a job, losing a loved one, or moving to another state. Big changes, whether positive or negative can be stressful. However, those that are deemed negative and/or out of our control can be especially stressful.
The differentiating factor for those who are highly successful in life is resilience, the ability to gracefully adapt to change, the buoyancy factor. We see it quite vividly in successful companies; they don’t hold on to dying trades (e.g., cassette tapes), they sell mp3s online or they add laser hair removal to their waxing business. Similarly, we see it in personal lives as well; it’s the person who proactively gets the IT training for the new software being used or the individual who celebrates potentially new opportunities while losing an old one. It’s the one who prays for guidance for the future when the present is being wiped away.
Those who are resilient and master change tend to have certain characteristics: Faith in God; know the Purpose in themselves; Confident in their abilities; and Connected to others.
When mastering change, those who are successful generally take three steps:
- intention
- action/effort
- contingent reserves
Our first instinct when we face unexpected change is to react, react in fear regarding what “might” happen. At that moment, it couldn’t be a more important time to take advantage of the crossroads opportunity to focus on what is most important to you. That is the time to create intention, shaping a direction for what you want. Once you are able to identify the true intentions for what you want, its important to ensure that you take action toward your intentions. Make sure that your efforts are aligned with intentions.
