Building Resilience: A Guide to Overcoming Changes in Business Life
Ricky Ponting will no longer coach the Delhi Capitals, bringing his seven-year association with the franchise to an end.
It is understood that with DC failing to achieve desired results, the owners decided to move on and look for a new head coach.
This development offers a platform for introspection. Consider these insightful quotes from influential minds.
"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." — John F. Kennedy.
“In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety."
“The only thing that is constant is change” said Heraclitus.
The definition of change in the Oxford Dictionary as a verb is “make or become different” or as a noun “an act or process through which something becomes different”.
These quotes have endured the test of time, continuing to offer profound insights.
We all go through major changes in our life that are notable and important to us and perhaps minor ones in everyday life that we don’t even realise were a change.
There are two kinds of people in the world: simply the ones who like “change” and the ones who don’t.
One of the hardest things about going through a major life change is that it can feel like you are out of control. You are not in control because things can happen very quickly.
It’s hard to be fully in control during big changes in your life. Letting go of the need for control and learning to surrender can be a life changer in and of itself.
Learning to let go during major life changes can be the difference between a seamless transition and a chaotic schism.
Master the art of letting go. Learn these essential steps to navigate life's changes.
1. Look on the bright side
This change is happening for a reason. Find the silver lining in the change. Look for ways this is a positive and necessary thing in your life.
2. Remind yourself that change is good
Change is happening at every moment. If you think about it, everything is constantly changing around you as you read this. Your nails and hair are getting longer. The air you breathe in and out is changing.
Everything changes and by reminding yourself that without change there would be no growth and with no growth we would stay stagnant.
And who really wants to be stagnant in life?
3. Find ways to be grateful for this change
Create a list of all the reasons you are grateful for with this change. Discuss your gratitude with a friend or family member.
Reflect on the positive parts of the change and that will shift your perspective.
4. Don’t be afraid to talk about it
Talk to a friend or trusted family member about your feelings. Start seeing a therapist who can provide you with a neutral stance on your change.
Write about your feelings in a journal. Do what makes you feel comfortable but don’t bottle up your feelings.
5. Have faith
George Michael said it best “You Gotta Have Faith”. This is the surrender part.
You have to believe that everything is happening in a perfect time, and it will all work out.
If there are steps you need to take to ensure that will happen, then do it and then let it go.
Now is the time to Change again!!
