I do not easily embrace change. Do you?
I clung to my marraige long past its healthy life. I have remained in my family home–with all its memories of another time–probably longer than was good for me starting a new life. I love creating warm, cuddly environments and then I rarely want to move from them. I am very flexible and “go with the flow” in most situations; so I deceive myself about how hard it is for me to really move willingly into big changes.
Some people are definitely more inclined to jump with both feet into change whenever the opportunity arises, and others, like me, are slow to put our toes in the water. What is your nature?
It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
– Charles Darwin – 1809-1882, Naturalist and Geologist
Ironically, in business I understand completely that the companies who are able to change and adjust to their environment are the ones that succeed. I actually am good at it in a business arena, just not my personal life. So it is time to bring my innate knowledge of adaptability in business to my own personal life.
I will be making many changes in the coming months. It is both exciting and terrifying! I will keep you posted on my progress at jumping in the water.
