Change is an inherent part of life, and its unpredictable nature can be frightening. However, accepting the full spectrum of change, both positive and negative, is crucial. Developing resilience in the face of change will give you confidence.

One way or another, change plays an immense role in reaching your purposes and implementing ideas. It is relatively easy to adjust to positive changes, such as cooperation with new partners. In such instances, you might attribute the success to your own efforts, even if luck played a role.

What may be challenging is managing unexpected changes that are beyond your control. Nevertheless, you can receive valuable lessons even in those circumstances, and the whole process may be empowering. It is essential to recognize your own role and take responsibility.

Take five minutes to reflect on a negative change in your life. Make a list of people you consider to be accountable for the situation. Then, honestly acknowledge your personal responsibility in the matter. Contemplate all your actions to avoid similar mistakes in the future.

For example, if you were dismissed from a job, your first thought is to accuse your boss. Yet, upon deeper reflection, you may understand that your actions could also be the reason. Maybe you consistently missed deadlines or weren’t an effective team player. Due to self-reflection, you will identify areas to improve.

As soon as you have extracted useful lessons from negative cases, focusing on them serves no purpose as it only halts you. Accept every situation and release any blame, pain, or anger associated with it. By doing so, you will create space for a new experience.
