Change is an adventure. This sounds really nice….but there are months when I have other words for change and they cannot be printed here! Using the power of your Intentional Choices, you can choose the perspective that change IS an adventure. Change brings with it unexpected surprises.

Whether you are changing a job, your style of relating, your location or a personal relationship - the unknown factors of change will often cause people to stay stuck and to feel powerless. Staying stuck feels comfortable and preferable to the unknown adventure of change. We are built to seek safety and comfort - where at least we know what we are dealing with – even if it does not bring us satisfaction . But eventually, resisting change becomes SO uncomfortable, that we finally choose the alternative to staying in the familiar. The truth is you grow as a person when you make changes. You learn a lot about yourself and how strong you are – how adventurous you are.

When you make the choice to begin the process of change , it can begin with just the simple thought that you want to experience something different. Maybe you call on a new account for the first time. Maybe you put the pile on the floor away as you seek to change your environment. Maybe you change just one behavior. Your everyday choices are powerful and they change and shape the life you are living. Every time you make a choice to change something and follow through, you are reminded of just how powerful you really are.

Wishing you all the colorful surprises that change can bring to you and your life – it begins with the choice to make one change and follow through today.
