Every organisation is in need of flexible people, who can accept and adopt changes swiftly. Changes are inevitable, sometimes unpredictable. To change itself is a vital attribute, a principle, or a rule of life.

Changes are necessary to make life more interesting, more meaningful, and more challenging. Without understanding this, we suffer, complain, grumble, get frustrated, and try to shift the responsibility of our ignorance, our carelessness on somebody else. Some people are adamant and reluctant to change.

The change may be accelerating, a hidden blessing, but we keep on escaping from our responsibilities and land in problems due to such an attitude. People without flexibility do impatiently wait for their good time to come. The best principle when circumstances change is “you change”. Handling change and successfully managing it is an art and a tactful skill. Quite interestingly, it can be learnt. We have to change our thinking habits. New thoughts will lead a person to be filled with great amount of positive attitude, energy, and enthusiasm that is essential to manage change.

A crucial factor of the universe is that it changes continuously. Therefore, change is always there, whether you accept it or not, whether you stay happy in changed circumstances or not. Some people fail to sustain and manage the change because they lack the desire, determination, and confidence to revert the changed environment to their favour.

According to Hugh Downs, well-known American broadcaster and author, a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. That attitude is; to change when circumstances change. Life is a collection of changes. Every change is a challenge. And challenges, when faced, may bring success or else it may act as stepping-stones to success.

The effective way to handle change is accepting whatever is in the present moment, and doing what is required at the present moment — keeping the temper in control. There is no pain, sorrow, grief or grumbling left when we whole-heartedly accept  change.

Always know and be prepared that change is inevitable. Expect the change, accept and handle it without anxiety. Enjoy the change. Take a responsibility to be happy. And grow with the change.

Bad things can happen to good people. We do not have control over  events, but can certainly choose how to deal with them. Deal with them, handle them and be unhappy; or deal with them manage them and be happy. It is always better and smarter to decide to be happy.

We cannot choose happenstances but we can always choose our reactions. Rather than being reactive we can be proactive and develop authentic thinking, wherein we can judge, analyse, and decide. We should change; as per changes in life, but there are few things, which should not change. That is our value system — values like integrity, commitment, honesty, and loyalty. If  values are dead in a man, then nothing in the world can revive and reinstate his existence.

Changes are not beyond human endurance. We should learn to treat changes occurring in our lives with equanimity.   Any change can be managed in life, of course more effectively.  Welcome changes sportively.  Remember they keeps us alive.
