Change is different

but we don’t always know how to deal with different

Change is inevitable, we all know this. We change our clothes every day (well, most people). We move from one location to another in our day to day lives, that's change too.
We are fine with the change that we initiate ourselves.

The problem comes when change unexpectedly knocks on our door. We don’t open the door and embrace it wide arms. Nope. Our default reaction is panic.

Unexpected change means stepping into the unknown. It means relearning a lot of things. It means being vulnerable. It is unstable and uncertain.
When this kind of change comes, we all deal with it differently. Some people run, some fight against it, some people accept it, some people pretend like it doesn’t exist.
Covid-19 happened to all of us. Some people jumped on the wave of change and road it to wealth, some people are still yet to adapt to the new normal, till today.

“The only constant in life is change — Heraclitus”

The best approach to change is to realize it will always happen, planned and unplanned alike. Turning a blind eye to change will not prevent it from happening (Just take a look at global warming).

Don’t wait for life to force change on you. You should initiate change to happen. Embrace change instead and make it work for you.

Change is inevitable but growth is optional -John Maxwell.

Be the yeast to the bread of change. Bake it and eat it.

Enjoy your meal.
