Finally, the big change I initiated by quitting a good job and embracing the passion of writing made me truly happy and satisfied. In general, when looking back, I realize that all the good things in my life are the results of changes that occurred in the past.
People usually avoid changes and prefer to stay in their comfort zones , but I am true believer that once you get the courage and take the first step to change, your life will become much better. You grow and learn new things every time something changes. You discover new insights about diffferent aspects of your life.
You learn lessons even from changes that did not lead you to where you wanted to be. Frequent changes make you easily adapt to new situations, new environments, and new people. As a result you do not freak out when something unexpectedly shifts. All of us know that nothing will improve by itself.
We need to do things differently to make that happen. From time to time changes make you re-evaluate your life and look at certain things from a different perspective.
Depending on what the change is, it may also reinforce your life values. Often we give up because we cannot accomplish the difficult task of making a huge and immediate change.
That is when small changes become extremely valuable. One shift at a time, small changes will eventually lead you to the desired big one. Not all changes lead you to pleasant periods of life. Unfortunately we do not live in fairy tale and sad things happen, too. Overcoming the tough period will make you stronger. One never knows what each change may bring.
When you turn from your usual path there will be plenty of different opportunities waiting for you. Changes will bring new choices for happiness and fulfillment. Each change is a turning page. It is about closing one chapter and opening another one. Changes bring new beginnings and excitement to life.
Remember the movie Stranger than Fiction? The main character Harold Crick does the same things in exactly same time for years. He leads a completely dull, extremely predictable, and uninteresting life. Both are just as important to keeping relevant and building your customer base in these competitive times.
Why is change good in the workplace? Change in an organization leads to many positive aspects — that lead to retaining a competitive edge and also remaining relevant in your business area. Change encourages innovation, develops skills, develops staff and leads to better business opportunities, and improves staff morale.
Change in the workplace can make us uncomfortable as we step out of what we normally do and attempt new ways of working. Our current world is constantly evolving in terms of technology and many other challenging but innovative ways.
Having the ability to face these new challenges head-on will not only develop the company as a whole but also those who work within it. As we saw previously, while change may be difficult, it can also be tremendously beneficial to both the company and the employees at the business.
Companies who are stuck in their ways or who are unbending in the way they approach the business are opting for a stale working environment. At the height of their success, Blockbuster had thousands of retail locations and millions of loyal customers.
Unfortunately, CEO John Antioco lacked a vision of the future and was resistant to face the inevitable change lurking on the horizon. In Reed Hastings, the founder Netflix which at the time was a struggling startup providing DVD mail order services proposed a partnership with Blockbuster.
Antioco laughed in his face and turned it down. For much of the next ten years Blockbuster was in decline, and in filed for bankruptcy protection. Innovation and the ability to react to change in your business area come with the possibility of great new business opportunities while ignoring the need to change can come at great peril.
There are many reasons why change hits in the workplace - and often with seemingly unrelenting frequency. Many of the changes we are seeing are the result of the pandemic and what appeared a temporary change may now be longer lasting. In addition, some changes, such as government change, will always have a particular shelf life, but today the changes are coming on fast and more frequently.
Keeping change a part of your ongoing strategy will enable you to keep competitive — and also grow as a company. Without change, companies may soon find themselves falling behind the curve and losing ground compared to competitors. They need to be able to change and adapt to keep up with our ever increasingly more technological and developing times. Businesses should ideally move and adapt fluidly.
Rigid work environments can result in shutting off creativity which helps new ideas grow. Staff who perform the same jobs constantly day in and day out will never get the chance to show their skills or learn anything new to bring to the company. If people do the same thing day in and day out, they will never learn to develop new skills. Terms and conditions Privacy policy Contact. Subscribe to our newsletter.
