Resilience is the quality that allows
us to enter each new day with the optimism, confidence and energy to adapt to,
influence and embrace the change that is inevitable.
Fearing change is natural for most of
us. Yet what most of us are truly fearful of is the lack of security,
stability, and control that we anticipate change will bring. But the
alternative to change, or “sameness,” reminds me of the great quote by
General Eric Shinseki: “If you don’t like change, you’ll like irrelevance
even less.”
Try not to think about change too
much and instead think about what improvements you can effect today under the
conditions and the always-shifting sands of your life. If we focus on making
things better, not on what’s different, then we become the dance, not the
dancer...~
