Hi All,
Thanks for showing up! My name is Robin. Welcome to my introductory blog about "Change."
It fascinates me that some people master change, while others are shattered by it.
Change is one of the only constants in today's world. It permeates our daily life. It energizes us to achieve goals and soar to greater heights, and it drains us of our will to continue. It exists in the biological, physical, mental, and spiritual. It exists in our personal lives and in our business lives. Change brings growth and improvement, or it brings atrophy and decline. It builds and destroys with equanimity.
Change happens whether we choose it or not. It cannot be avoided. It is an innate part of human existence, and still we fight it at almost every opportunity.
The truth is, most people hate change. It takes time and energy and requires thought and decision. We prefer the path of least resistance. Fast food, normal routines, status quo - we like to be in the know, and we like to be in charge. We prefer easy to complicated, simple to complex.
We generally embrace new things when they provide instant status or reward, or when there is clear immediate gratification or benefit. We want change when there is a social pressure or motivation. Occasionally, a serious factor like health or security leads us to it.
Change can be as simple as a new hair style, or as radical as surgery. It can impact a person, a family, or an entire group of people. It can be private or public, confined or far reaching, small or gargantuan. It can affect an individual, an enterprise, a country, or the world.
We go out of our way to avoid it, and we seek it out for the sheer sake of experience. We try to prevent it, and we demand it.
It frustrates, antagonizes, exasperates, infuriates, and exhausts us. It inspires, stimulates, delights, pleases, motivates, and invigorates us.
It forces us to come face to face and go toe to toe with our greatest challenger - SELF. If you are overburdened, underappreciated, unrecognized, tired, worn, frazzled, disappointed, disillusioned, saddened, or simply empty, you have arrived on this page for a reason. If you are thrilled with life, excited about every day, and motivated to achieve excellence and your personal best, you arrived on this page for a purpose as well.
Maybe you have lost your job, your home, your good name, your family, or your friends. Your support system has vanished, or maybe you never had one. You could have been convicted or imprisoned, or maybe you have lost your health and strength. Perhaps, you have lost your will and your energy, and you feel there is simply nothing left to lose. I have been to that place.
Maybe you are at the top of your game, empowered, confident, respected, prospering, financially independent, and living the good life. Maybe others come to you for your wisdom, your logic, your expertise, or just your energy. I have been there too.
I am here to tell you that even if you believe that you have lost all hope, there is some speck of belief inside that led you here. There are still possibilities. There is a better way and a better place. There is a way out. There is a way back. There is a way up.
I am here to meet fellow teachers and planners and executives and entrepreneurs, and learn from them as I share.
As someone who has experienced a great deal of change in my life, some of it welcome, and some of it devastating, I find that the more I learn, the more I am fascinated by how much is still out there to be discovered.
Welcome friends...
