CONDITIONS CHANGE ------------------- Conditions change all the time. What you could depend on yesterday, might very well be gone today. What once worked so well for you, will eventually fail to bring the results you seek. So when conditions change, you have the valuable opportunity to change along with them.
Life by its very definition is always changing. People who make the most of life are those who expect the changes, welcome them, and find the positive possibilities in each one.
When you see changes occurring, instead of making a judgment make a careful observation. You cannot stop the changes that are already taking place, so your best strategy is to find the opportunities that are embedded within them.
And those positive opportunities are most certainly there. Rather than being fearful of the changes, be curious, and you'll see the hidden value in those changes.
You can count on the fact that the world will continue to change. And you can always choose to take the actions that will make those changes be for the better.
-- Ralph Marston

Interesting. Certainly as the years pass, I have found myself clinging ever so hard to the "way things were" and bemoaning the way things are now. It takes a change in attitude and some faith to embrace change these days. I overheard a neighbour on the bus this morning saying he is staying at a friend's for the next two weeks as his apartment is being renovated. He'll be moving back in but there will be a 25% increase in his rent. This caught my attention as this is going on alot lately. He is taking the position that he is going to embrace change. He's buying new furniture to go with his new surroundings.
It's hard sometimes to embrace change - we get a 4% raise and and our rent goes up by 25%. It's hard to be cheery but what choice do we have. It serves no purpose to get depressed or negative.
