Change is a great thing . Never see it any other way .
Change is a great thing . Never see it any other way .
There are two kinds of changes . One kind of change is initiated by you , and the other kind of change is one that you don ’ t control .
Change initiated by you tends to be positive . At least that ’ s generally the intention . It doesn ’ t always work out that way .
On the other hand , change that you don ’ t control can be negative or positive . Positive change not initiated by you is sometimes called serendipity , while negative change not initiated by you is sometimes called vicissitude .
Of course you control your own actions , behaviors and thoughts . You cannot control the actions , behaviors and thoughts of others . You don ’ t control your external environment .
So don ’ t try to . It ’ s important to recognize this when going through any kind of change .
All change requires going with the flow . Change will always be new territory . Look around and be cautious of acting too boldly . But all the same keep your eyes open for opportunities . Change always presents new opportunities .
Initiating change by yourself is exciting . Just don ’ t try to change too many things at once .
