'It is not the strongest of the species who survive, not the most intelligent, but those who are most adaptive to change.' Charles Darwin
3. Consider the outcomes of any change. This can be positive or negative. People who are successful tend to be risk takers. This doesn't mean reckless fools who have no self-control ( those people may experience success but tend to crash and burn). The risk takers who are successful in the long term tend to consider any change rather like a game of chess. In chess before playing a piece you need to think about all the other actions this may create.
A change in life may not always lead to the desired outcome. Wealth has made some people no happier than when they worked in a department store. The key to change is to try, be willing to give it a shot because the consequences of not changing can be more dire. W.G.P. (aka Walnut Grove Press) stated, 'He that expects nothing is never disappointed.'
Later I will describe how the process of change can be just as enlightening as achieving a goal.
A few years ago Tiger Woods re-learnt his golf swing. He was not happy with winning everything and wanted to improve his game. If his new swing didn't do it who's to say he would be able to re-capture his old good style. He decided the risk was worth and became even more successful.
Remember, positive is good but being blindly optimistic could create vulnerability.
Next we'll look at the traits associated with achieving change. For now let's finish with another quote. This time from Albert Einstein, ' Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.'
