change

by sexythinker

If you haven’t noticed that we’re going through major changes right now, you’re living on another planet.

Some of the changes are hard to stomach like our economy and employment situation .

Other changes, like the ones happening on the technology front, make me feel like I just won the lottery…like the fact that I can run my business from my iPhone.

“It’s not the strongest or the most intelligent of species that will survive, but it’s those who are most responsive to change.” – Charles Darwin

I realized this as a kid, when my family moved sometimes as often as every 3-6 months. While constantly changing schools and having to always make new friends sucked, I discovered it came with a few advantages.

Like getting a boatload of second chances.

For example, in the 2nd  grade, I peed my pants during recess and was made fun of by the whole class for the rest of the school year.   But, when I changed schools in the 3rd grade, no one ever knew about that and I had a clean slate.   I was the best break dancer in our grade which officially made me the coolest kid in school.

I learned a long time ago that when you’re responsive to change, you usually end up ok. .
