And sometimes I wish it were the other way around. Could we just for a day or so have Change be the optional piece and trust that Growth would be inevitable? I mean, really, we could grow just by default and keep change to a minimum. There is some appeal to that but it just doesn’t work that way.

The world around us changes constantly and so far we seem to be able to adapt. Not always easily, but eventually most of us ‘conform’ to whatever ‘new’ or ‘different’ shows up. We can go kicking and screaming into change or pause to assess how we want to ‘be’ with it.

When change within ourselves occurs it can be a subtle shift that we shrug off without much fanfare. When it shakes the ground we walk on, that’s a different story. Every time I lead a group through the 3 Vital Questions/TED* training/coaching I am faced with some level of resistance. It’s hard for some people to believe that changing the way they look at the world will change the world they look at. By the end of training, they get just as I did when I first learned that how I was seeing the people and places and events around me had a huge impact on my peace of mind.

When we are focusing on the joy, enthusiasm, excited anticipation of an event or outcome we are more likely to have a wee skip in our step, a smile on our face and the ability to see that positivity all around us. I keep saying that the Law of Attraction is always at work whether or not you believe in it. The proof is in the way that people, things and experiences just serendipitously show up when you think about them. And more and more ‘coincidences’ reinforce what you are believing.

Perhaps today you can look at one change that has recently happened or is happening around you and search for the growth opportunity. I’d love to hear the difference it makes to your wellbeing.
