CHANGE!

"If we don't change, we don't grow"

CHANGE…
Well as most of us can relate to not liking change, we all go through it, good or bad. We all get comfortable in our lives where we like where we live, where we work, and are content and don’t like the carpet being pulled out from under us.
Some of us change because the change is happening and we just go with it, some of us choose to change whether it is to move, change jobs, cities, or change relationships or friendships, these are things we all do but do we make the right choices for ourselves?
Change is not something we always have control over, sometimes we have no control at all but we do have a chance to change it later. How do we overcome the fear of change?
Change is good, change means we’re growing as individuals, change means we don’t get stuck in those ruts we all hate. Change means we are always learning and creating new ideas. Sometimes change is exciting, sometimes it’s sad and sometimes it just makes us so angry but it’s in all what we do with it. How do we handle change?
When change is thrown at you, what do you do to make it a positive thing for you or how do you shape it into something that will make you happy if it’s not change that you agree with or don’t like or want ,or is it change made by you and you made the wrong choice.
Change is fear of the unknown and none of us like walking around in the dark not knowing where we are going or what is next or right in front of us, so what do we need to do?

Assess your change and ask yourself these questions:

1. Is your change necessary for you, do you need it to help you grow personally?
2. Will this change make you more money or change you financially?
3. Will this change get you away from what wasn’t making you happy in the first place or will it make you happier?
4. Is this change only temporary or is it permanent?
5. Is this change hurting you or bettering you or maybe helping someone else?
6. Is this change happening to fast or not fast enough?
7. Do you let change take you over or do you take over change?
8. Is the change happening?

I have personally asked myself all this as well as I myself have gone through alot of changes myself in just about every aspect we’ve talked about, some of it has been quite the ride let me tell you but when you’re caught up all in the middle of change especially when it seems to be everything all at once not one after the other like how all of us would like it to happen it does teach us alot about ourselves and definitely what finally does make us happy when it all finally starts to settle.  (Daya @ TheHappySelf.com  2/22/10)
