Be The Change.

It has been said that the only constant in this life if change.

Yet with this fact known by many, why is it that so many find the idea of change so difficult to comprehend? I have never been opposed to the idea of change. I like a change of scenery, an escape from the mundane routine that makes up most of our day-to-day lives.

My life for the past two years has been chaotic to say the least. All starting in the beginning of 2009. My father got sick, died unexpectedly, graduated college two weeks later, got fired from my job for calling out because my father died, got surgery, got engaged, got a new job, moved in with my fiancée, my grandmother died, I felt under appreciated at work and resigned, got a new job, and I get married in just under two months.

If I don’t deserve a medal for being able to deal with change then I don’t know who does.

The most recent change is the whole job thing. Don’t get me wrong I love my current job, the staff and the kids are great. I have never been great at playing the politics game however. I find it extremely difficult to kiss ass and I usually speak my mind or may disagree with what other people think or do. Without sounding like and asshole however I feel as though I have great ideas and am seldom ever wrong when it comes to my instincts. I have tons of experience with a wide range of disabilities and aliments yet when it came time for a promotion I was passed over while I watched people less experienced than I get promoted before me without rhyme or reason. I have decided that I am not bitter at this fact and just decided that this was not the place that I was meant to be at. I can use my unique people skills to explore other opportunities that would benefit me much greater.

This leads me to think about if this is the right change for me or not and the easy answer is, I don’t know. Maybe change isn’t right or wrong but just now. All I know is I must try to be the change and make it work for me. The key is making every opportunity great or small work for you and that’s just what I’ll do.
