Some Ya Can & Some Ya Can’t

One of the constants in life is change, and I write about it often.  In fact, there is something is changing in our life every day.  Changes typically fall in one of these two categories: 1. Biological or 2. Transformational.  Biological changes just happen, and you have little to no input on them.  Those would be getting older, losing your hair, seasonal changes, etc.  Transformational changes are wholesale shifts.  It is not a matter of doing the same thing as before but a little better.  Instead, it is upsetting the apple cart all together and moving in a completely different direction.  Change is our reaction to the opportunity rather than the opportunity itself.  Events in life offer an opportunity for transformational change, but some have difficulty seeing or grasping said opportunity.  It’s that, what am I going to do with this, thinking. 

When you experience one of those life dropped me on my head moments, think about what you are going to do with the event.  You CANNOT change that it happened, but you CAN change how you react to it.  Use the event to make one of those transformational changes.  Remember, when you change your thinking, you can change your world.
