Change Is Inevitable: Are You Ready To Jump On The Change Train?
Change is inevitable. If you try to run from it, it will find you.
In today’s world, change is the only constant, which is why I encourage you to hold on tight and learn how to embrace the ups and downs of life. Unfortunately a lot of people fear change, which ends up limiting their potential.
It’s a lot easier to hang out in a bubble of comfort than it is to throw yourself into the unknown, but change is necessary for growth. If you want to become more, you need to be open to learning, to embracing the new, and doing the impossible.
Change is inevitable, so the best thing that you can do is plan for it. In the words of Socrates, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” When you master change, you master your life. Are you ready to jump on the change train?

Change is inevitable. Are you ready for it?
If not, don’t panic. As human beings, we are creatures of habit, which means that we like things that make us feel safe and secure.
Research shows that the motivation behind much of our behaviour is driven by the desire to minimise threat and maximise reward. Change does not fit into this category, so when it show up and tries to shake up our bubble of comfort, we get stressed, anxious and fearful.
Change affects everyone differently, and it shows up in two different forms – external and internal. External change could be moving to a new city, having a baby, losing a job, or on the more scarier end of the spectrum, losing a loved one or being in an accident. Our internal attitude towards change will determine how we deal with it.
What freaks you out about change? For myself, it’s the fear of having to step out of my comfort zone. One review of 129 behavior change studies found that the consistently least effective change strategies hinged on fear and regret, proving that real, lasting change needs to be perceived as positive in order for us to buy into it.
Life in a comfort zone is easy breezy, which is why it’s SO hard to leave it, but if you want to become more, you need to break free. When you dive, head first, into the world and do something new, your whole perspective changes. Take the leap. Trust me when I say that it’s worth it.
At the end of the day, if you want to lead a resilient life, you need to master change, because change is inevitable. Our world will continue to demand that we adapt and be flexible to changing circumstances, so we need to embrace the fluidity of it.
Let’s be real. Change can really suck, but there is always a silver lining to it, even when you are in the emotional trenches of it and feel like throwing in the towel. I believe that change makes you strong, and I know this firsthand. I’ve been dealt some shitty blows in life, and although I couldn’t see it at the time, the setbacks I’ve lived through have shaped me into the resilient woman that I am today.
If you were never forced into uncomfortable situations, you would never have your strength tested and overcome the things you never thought were possible. Oftentimes we don’t give ourselves enough credit for how strong we really are, until we are faced with something that shakes our entire core. Who you are, and how you show up for yourself during the toughest times of your life, reveals your resilience.
I share Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s viewpoint on strength when she says that, “The most beautiful people I have met are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, humility and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not come out of nowhere. “
Once you accept that change is an inevitable part of life, the impossible becomes possible.
Like any habit, embracing change doesn’t happen overnight. The trick is learning that change is a process, not an event. Be fluid with the highs and lows and learn how to ride the rollercoaster of life with your eyes open. If you need to scream, do it. If your heart pounds, breathe through it. If you need something to hold onto, don’t be afraid to ask for help.
At the end of the day, we are all in this together. Whether you like it or not, change will happen. We might as well embrace the unknown together.
