Change is inevitable. It is freaking frightening…and threatening. But wait…CHANGE is an OPPORTUNITY!
In our present time, changes are happening faster and with precise consistency and constancy. In the complexity of our situation where competition, commercialism, and rapid technological advancement are converging, we cannot afford to just keep on asking “Who moved my cheese” (Johnson, 1998). Those who can deal and manage change will emerge as winners. But those who will remain in the state of resentment will be miserable and will suffer a slow and tragic end.
Embracing the changes would mean accepting the challenges that lie ahead and confronting the concrete problems it may bring. There are people who see change as frightening, and so they readily kill signs that would lead to it. Some see it as frightening but exciting, and so they welcome change but start to dwindle the moment difficulties come into the picture, they then raise the white flag and revert back to resentment. But there are some who see change as OPPORTUNITY. They are considered as persons of ‘character’; humbled by their openness to situations, driven by their desire to continuously become better, and sustained by their lived mission in life.
Changes in our lives will never be a simple “walk in the park”, together with it are “birth pains” that we need to endure in order for us to really discover and fully reach the beautiful things ahead of us.
