Life is change.
For those who find change unsettling, unnerving or outright frightening, coming to terms with this fundamental reality can be quite the challenge.
In fact, some of you may not even accept my premise. Life is change. I suggest you reconsider. Much that is frustrating, much that 
catches us off guard, much that proves to hold us back, arises from our resistance to change.
The issue of interest to me is the direction of change. Change is inevitable, but is it change for the better or change for the worse?
Better being more mature, more deeply or broadly skilled, and more richly connected. Change for the worse being becoming more childish, stale professionally, and increasingly isolated among others.
Viewed as a developmental process, change becomes either a positive dynamic that is worth nurturing or a negative one worth avoiding. The key being you.
Yes, you.
Embracing change is embracing yourself. Who you want to become. What you want to learn and do. Where you want to live and work. With whom you want to partner, collaborate, work and play.
Instead of something to be feared, change becomes the very path toward your future.
Good thing. Because life is change.
