They say when everything changes, change everything. What happens if you don’t want to change, though? What if you want things to be exactly as they always were? What if you’re a little bit reluctant to go out into the unknown, preferring familiar pastures, preferring the safe, known, and familiar? They also say that things aren’t always greener on the other side!
That said, we all know that change is inevitable. Circumstances change. Finances and fortunes change. The people that come in and out of our lives change. When you look back on your timeline, you’ll see that everything has changed.
Sometimes, though, there are fundamentals that never change. The parts of us that remain recalcitrant and unwavering. The parts that should never be negotiated nor compromised. In some ways, those are the very attributes that transform change into growth. The attributes that keep you from being rudderless. Change is inevitable, though growth is not.
As the new era of change arrives, leave some space for the familiar, the comfortable, and the parts of life that are completely non-negotiable. The chance to slow down, take a breath, and figure out exactly what those non-negotiables are is now possible.
