Change – Threat or opportunity?

What is triathlonA thought:  I recently have been having to contend with a variety of changes, or potential changes.  Some of which are interesting, motivating and clearly opportunities.  I throw myself into these.  Its easy.  Even when the change may be potentially huge.

Some changes, or potential changes, are more challenging though.  It might be a simple change, but because I like certainty and knowing what is what... I don't like it.

"It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change" - Charles Darwin

And yet, if I take a step back... allow the initial thought process to conclude it might be I have been presented with an opportunity and may actually discover that it is not a threat at all.

What does this mean?

Well, first, it means all those sessions with a psychologist have probably begun to pay off!  It also means that changes are inevitable... I, personally, may not always like them.  There will be times when it seems impossible, but there are often opportunities hidden within them.
