We are living in exciting age of unprecedented change. Today'saccelerated rate of change presents us with unique challenges andopportunities. When change brings success, keep your ego from gettingout of hand. When the change is negative, use your sense of humor toget through it. Once you learn to handle change, you can take yourskills, talents, and abilities and help others change. Let's look atfour ways to enhance your mastery of change.
1. Don't Fight It.
The natural tendency is to protect what you know and value, what hasbecome familiar and comfortable. Unfortunately the world will changewith or without you. So you must adapt again and again. You make yourlife so much more complicated when you fight the change. You causeyourself stress and can actually become ill. Remember the old SerenityPrayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know thedifference.
2. You don't have to like the Change.
No one ever said you have to like the changes you are experiencing.However, you do have to understand them so you can progress. Study,explore, and read everything you can about the current matters thataffect your perception and handling of change. Life is not always about"liking." It is about doing the best you can, with what you you've gotand getting on with it--right now!
3. Know what to defend against change.
There are some things we should resist changing because change does notalways translate into better. Change for the sake of change alone candestroy valuable situations, assets, and relationships. Many valuesdeserve to be defended. Ask yourself what you will change and what youwill defend.
4. Have a Sense of Humor.
Humor can give you a momentary "emotional vacation." A sense of humorcan conquer pretense, and diffused anger and hostility. It can take animpossible situation and change it into an acceptable one. The oldaxiom, "if you take yourself too seriously, no one else will," is key.The most effective people are spontaneous and can use humor to expresstheir feelings, and to encourage others.
When you set out to be a change master and to make a difference in thisworld, there is no guarantee that it will be easy. By learning aboutchange, serving others and helping them to learn to change, you willindeed be making a difference.
