The Benefits of Change

by Coach Kim Create Your Dream Life

I've changed my mind.

What does that mean? I am deciding to intentionally move in a different direction. I am cashing in on another option. It can be empowering to choose to shift based on your own re-prioritization.

But what about when change happens TO YOU?

How good are you at handling interruptions or others making decisions that directly impact the flow of your journey? I have learned that life is a delicate balance of being proactive and responsive (versus reactive - which denotes the situation is controlling you instead of vice versa). The trick is preparing yourself in the lulls, so you will practically respond in the chaotic moments.

You haven’t yet had any chaotic moments? My grandmother would say . . .

Keep on living.

You see, the only guarantee we can put ALL of our chips on - is change.

You can resist it, deny it, try to ignore it, but the chassis of life is change. Over the long haul, the path of life itself moves from dependency to dependency. We fight for independence, but in the end, we are naturally more dependent on others. Supporting yourself, by yourself can be a daunting task and is a probable milestone the majority will experience.

Don’t get me wrong as I’m not coming to you from a point of fatalistic overwhelm, but more from a “while quantities last” perspective. We have X amount of times to smile, to encourage, to engage, to comfort, to make a difference. Why not do it all with sincerity and gusto, knowing that change will dictate that at some point in time we will no longer sit in the seat as The Giver.

Shine while you can, because change is on the horizon, heading in your direction.
