Change

Is change good or bad? I guess it depends on what kind of change it is and how you perceive the change. A change can be an exciting opportunity to improve a situation or it can be the first step in the wrong direction.
Most of the changes in our lives form first in our heads and then they happen in real life. So make sure you approach change as positive as possible. That sounds much easier than it is! Think about a Merger & Acquisition situation or on a more personal level on a separation from your partner. These are big changes and they are not easy to deal with. Another example could be a project that you get assigned in your company. Let's say it is a very challenging and critical project for your company and you know that senior management is paying very close attention to this particular project is this good or bad for you? Is this something great for you because you can show what you and your team can do or is it something scary?  Your judgement of the change will determine how you approach it. Don't waste energy and fight the change but instead try to make the best of it!
