Change is inevitable. Learning from change is optional.
Change is the one thing you can count on. My life changes every 5 to 6 years.Change is for me as regular as any other cycle in nature. I can see it now very clearly looking back as I've lived quite a few of those 5 to 6 year periods. At the end of each period I get restless. I can feel the change coming and I know it's time to move on or dramatically change something in my life. I'm sensitive to the things I have learned and created, and have never been able to stay in that comfortable spot for very long. I've changed jobs, moved cities or started a new company.Every time the change comes it feels hard, sometimes even physically daunting. I can't see clearly ahead but I know I have to walk into the fog. I feel a strong pull to the unknown and I know I will be fine. Maybe this trust comes from having walked in the vast Finnish forest at night from early age. You simply trust your gut and carry on.Change has always lead me to a better place.I remember when I was at my first job after college selling accounts to customers of a bank. It was the sales department' of the biggest banking industry in a metropolitan city and I guess it sounded glamorous, to some. Against the advice of my friends I decided to follow my instinct without knowing if I'd be happy or no. I was very happy initially but I've always found the courage to listen to that call to change. I think this is the key to growth. Whatever your definition of success may be, I don't believe you can get there unless you are willing to embrace change when it is its time.Change is the natural way of the universe and to ignore its calling is to put you onto aĀ wrong path.If you ignore the call and keep doing what you have always being doing you can hardly expect to end up in a different, a more successful place. You can't expect to get things you don't already have or experience feelings you haven't felt before. Embracing the change and moving between different genres have been a period of tremendous personal growth. I have slowly and surely given up my .This has lead me to find the courage to do what I dream of doing. And that means to live myĀ life bigger.
Let's embrace change together.
