Change For What Change Is

Change is the process of making new approaches to one’s targeted end results. Change will inevitably crop into one’s life again and again. Everyone will try to change and for the better although it does not always work that way. Why? Because the agent of change one employ depends on one’s own perception of its capability and sometimes that capability falls short of targeted and achievable results.

A family unit will need to change as it expands and as the family becomes bigger with the addition of children. A lot of changes will need to be met as the children grow up. The lead in any of the changes will be the head of the family, which is the father and next comes the mother. Children observe. They look for guiding factors in their parents and these will motivate them to change, hence if the factor presents positive traits the change will be positive and if it is negative so also the change. It is important, therefore, that parents project positive changes in front of their children all the time lest they grow up being negative.

I would say that if you want anything to change you must change first. There is no point in asking people to change if you yourself do not change. Change is difficult, especially when a routine has been so entrenched, that any attempt at change is thwarted at the slightest excuse. Perseverance, then, will be the essential key to achieve the intended change. Do not give up. Change becomes insignificant if the lead gives up. Leading by examples they say motivates and I believe this is very true in every day life. When you are in the lead, lead well and continue to be positive in and be seen to lead. Soon you will see the changes taking place. Walk the talk they say. This is a good way, if not the only way, of motivating others to change.

When change becomes inevitable, the imperative will be to get all others involved in the process of the change. Concerted efforts certainly will influence change and participation by all can only accelerate it. Get consensus, then execute together. Change can then happen.

Look at life. What is current and what needs changing. Look for the motivating factor and pick an agent for it if necessary. Set a time frame if necessary. Execute the change process and make the change. Go on…….. make the change……. and continue to enjoy…………
