Improvement is a form of change . Change yourself every day .
While all change should be viewed positively , sometimes it ’ s not . There is no greater stress than unforeseen negative change . The loss of people around you , the loss of one ’ s livelihood , or the destruction of one ’ s familiar surroundings are the worst kinds . It ’ s hard to appreciate the positive side of change when you are mourning and grieving . If you are unlucky enough to have this kind of change – and we all are at many points in our lives – then the conscious realization that you are in control your own actions , behavior and thoughts is at its most potent . It ’ s easier said than done , but believing change is fundamentally a great thing allows you to see the silver lining .
There is always a silver lining with change . Be deliberate in looking for it .
No matter what kind of change you experience , you are still you , and no one can ever take away what you already have . Find ways to apply it post-change , as it takes on a whole new value .
What doesn ’ t kill you truly does make you stronger . Smarter too .
Improvement is a form of change . Change yourself every day .
