In my earlier post, I had raised a question on change - are we afraid of change? Let me explain this a bit further and we can explore whether we are.....

Eventhough we change things in our day to day life even in our long term ambitions, our targets, our lifestyle, our attitudes and even sometime our principles.

This is all based on a central point of our purpose and that is to live well or with the main objective of, earning enough money to live well. Let us call this our pivot. Hence everything arround this pivot can cange but nothing should disturb this pivot. Once the green flows in we are ready to make small, medium and sometime big changes to all the above.

Once this pivot changes - all hell breaks loose in our heart and in our mind we then become instruments of our emotion and will lay all blame of our sorry state to whoever has made this change. Of-cource this will begin by questioning the need for change, question the wisdom of the person who has brought about this change, finding loopholes in the case for change and we all end up bringing all kind of emotions to the forefront and generate negative thoughts.

But in our fast life did we miss something which actually resulted in the change and took us by surprise, did we miss an oppurtunity somewhere down the line?

We as managers are always trying to create a business continuity plan and disaster recovery plans for our organisation, but when it comes to our own life's continuity after a "disasterous change" we know we have forgotten that.

Are we ready for change?.
