Why are we afraid of change? Don't we love new gadgets, shows, clothes, toys ... Don't these new items represent change? So why are so many of us afraid it?
Our brain is one the best pattern recognition engines on the planet. Which makes us very good at routines, sports plays, math problems, and every day tasks. This enables us to be very efficient at tasks, which is great, but it can lead to habits, which makes us predictable. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with routines, we all need them.
But, why can't we all posses a little child-like curiosity when we interact with the world. Be curious like a child, but maintain the adult common sense. Ask questions, do not take everything for granted; play the "what if" game.
What if I drove a different route to work?
What if I interacted differently with my family and friends?
What if I went back to school?
What if I changed careers?
The world is changing, what if tomorrow your skills were no longer needed, what would you do?
What If?

Chris,
ReplyDeleteIn my simple mind, we all should recognize any change for the better starts by asking a simple question "What if?"
Additionally, given these are times of change; each one of us is either driving a change or is the target of some else's change.
