The Book -Ready, Set..... Grow

CHAPTER 9

Embracing Change

Accordingto Dondi, ''the ability to adapt and manage change is an important skill set '' whether personally or professionally. 

Human's initial reaction to change aren't always positive.We want things to get better but we are not ready to make changes where necessary. we want a better life but would not change those things that hinder us, we want things to stay the same but in a better level yet won't accept a change..

My dear, better doesn't happen without change. We should know that inside of every change there is an ending, middle and beginning. No doubt, endings are hard, we let go of something when we end something for a change. When we let go, we feel a loss. Truth is that letting go is harder than the change needed . Someone once said that '' we don't resist change. We resist letting go''. We cannot reach for what is new until we let go of the thing we are clutching so tightly.

How many of us cling to the crumbling ledge and refuse the line to safety? I am guilty of this.

Have you ever wondered after reaching for the line and climbing to a higher place, '' why did i hold on to that for so long'' ? .This is the story of my life. Hold on for so long and when i eventually let go and start working towards something new and i see changes i go '' why on earth was it so hard to let go''.

Don't worry about letting go when there is need for it.

Change is hard. It is a struggle. It is needed. It is achievable.

Do not resist change, explore it, be committed to it and thank yourself later.

Change is a journey.
