I recently read a book on how certain people accept change in their life and how others do not wish to even move a step ahead. There are many reasons for not letting you change or accept what is happening. You had somehow started being so comfortable in your daily routine that any kind of change will shatter you.

Let’s take an example of an organization running for years selling its products. One day we see that the ratio of sales is falling down rapidly. The reason is known to the manager but he is not ready to change the situation with new idea or implement something new. Why? Most of them are scared to adapt new things in life, some fear of failures, say what if we start something new? Your business is anyway running huge loss then why don’t you try something new? But no the fear follows you as soon as you divert your mind towards positive attitude. Fear will always pull you down. Just imagine if that company would have launched his new product leaving his old thinking behind, the sales would go up and it can recover the loss incurred lately. Forecasting the future and applying changes accordingly will help you save your company.

Similarly, how many of you fear to accept the change in personal life? Change in terms of your education, your career failures, and relationships. Every day rises with a new change, maybe we are not aware of or we cannot see it but sooner or later we will all have to face it. Change with time. Do not stick to your old ethics and morals; they do not work in real life. Whatever you have today may not be yours tomorrow. This sudden shock or surprise will dishearten you if you are not prepared for the change. I do not mean to point out that people or relations that you have today will not be there tomorrow.

How can you overcome the situations that come with a change in life and how can you happily welcome with a positive attitude?

In businesses there are always ups and downs, like wise even in personal life and its situations. Are we smart to foresee those changes before it hit us? Are we smart to sniff the coming changes so that we can be ready to implement our plan B and move with the change? I would like you to think of at least one such situation on life where in you had not expected any change but it did happen and you weren’t ready at all. It shook you completely, shattered your dreams and made you weak, just not ready to get up and move on for the next one. Remember, weather you accept it or not, there is no escape from the bitter truth. Things can be frustrating as you are already comfortable with the routine but trust me a new challenge and being uncomfortable in that will give you the strength you never imagined. It is frustrating to start from scratch but why not take it as a challenge and prove yourself that you can do it as always and become a hero. Look forward instead of reminiscing about the past. Just like seasons, life changes too. Initially, you might not like what’s happening but later you may understand the reason behind the change that took place in your life. Nothing is stable, if anything that is constant in life is “Change”.

Always look at the brighter side of any situation. Cursing the situation or forcing your mind to constantly think on why this has happened to me only, will lead you nowhere but only in depression. Why can’t we take the challenge and say that yes it is me who God has chosen for this situation. A strongest soldier can win the battle. Every obstacle in your life leaves you with some lesson and changes you for the better. There will be people who would try to pull you down, break your moral, but do not stop, believe in you and have faith to kill the monster ahead of you. Do not stress much, hard work always pays off.
