I Used to Hate You, Change!

The fourth quarter of the year has been full of change for me and my family. The amazing thing is that it’s not over yet. Even still, we’ve been navigating through so much change. Some good changes, some bad changes, some happy changes, and some sad changes. One thing is for sure. We were given the gift of change and have responded in a number of different ways. What I want to share with you are the various lessons I’ve learned along the way. I also encourage you to share your perspective on change, as well.

1. Change is the only thing that’s guaranteed in this life.

2. Your response to change will determine the outcome.

3. Even when change is not comfortable, it can still be good.

4. Friends may no longer like you when you change. Love them anyway.

5. Change will take you out of your comfort zone and cause you to make some really hard decisions.

6. Once you overcome the adversities associated with change, you WILL be a better person.

7. Your family may not agree with the changes you make. Love them anyway.

8. People who get in your way aren’t haters, they are part of the change game to help you get better at navigating through change. Love them even more.

I’ve only listed eight of the things that stood out to me during this change process, however, I learned so much more. As you go through change, I challenge you to open your eyes to a whole new world. You just might like what you see.
