Ever Evolving ... Encouraging and Embracing Change

I am an old school girl.  I love to go back in time in my mind and remember what things used to be like.  Back when things were less complicated, not as fast paced.  A time when there were fewer ways to be in contact with those you cared about, yet you were in contact more.  A time when we had fewer tools to do the job, but the job was done better.  A time when we didn't take things and people for granted, but appreciated who and what we had in life.

However.  I also like change.  Let me rephrase that.  I do not like change just for the sake of change.  I like changes that make a difference.  Changes that matter.  Be it in my personal life, my relationships or home life, my social life and my work life.  If there is a change that can be made to make things lighter and brighter; I say let's do it!

Some changes are easier than others.  This is based a lot on our comfort zone, or past experiences, our areas of expertise and struggle, as well as our routines, patterns and habits.  However, once we embrace change instead of resisting it, it tends to go much smoother and we can ease in to the new routine(s) without much difficulty.  We just have to be willing to do it.

What changes are you needing to make?  In what areas of your life or business? Some changes will affect both our personal and our business life, other changes are more subtle and may not be seen by anyone other than you.  However, any positive change is something worth doing.  Make a conscious choice to make a change today.  Small or large, you owe it to yourself, your future and those you love, to make constant changes that will enhance and improve your life and the life of those around you.  As they say "JUST DO IT!"
