Everything around us is changing. Would you agree? We live in a world of constant change. Many people grow and adapt but some like the safety of their comfort zone, the safety of the status quo.
Some people cling to their comfort zone as a seemingly unstoppable force to reckon with, they put up a tremendous fight with comments such as:
“We tried that before a couple of years ago, it didn’t work then, it won’t work now.”
“We’ve always done it this way.”
Often priding themselves on their temporary victories they almost bully their co-workers, direct reports, and sometimes even their supervisors into their change resistant ways. They avoid risk at all costs. Change and the risk associated with it is too scary.
Here is the question that everyone should be asking themselves: If everything around us is changing, isn’t the riskiest position to take one of no risk at all? I see reasonable risk as something that reminds us that we are alive. That we have free will. That we control our own destiny.
What do you think?

If you want to control your own destiny, you must be proactive about it.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more Katina! You can be proactive and make things happen, or you can be reactionary and wait to see what happens, but if you are reactionary you just may find yourself asking "What happened?"
