Hi ronit, thanks alot for you comment.

Change is the hardest thing to do for many eventhough the steps to change is easy.
And the only thing that keeps people from doing so is their sincere “choice” to do so.

Hi Brian. Thanks for your comment.

I’d like to relate it with one of our post, 5 Stages of Change.

In that post, you’d learn that:

Change has two impacts, a positive and negative. On the positive side, it gives us an opportunity to experience new greater things and to give us a moving forward attitude. On the other side, we tend to get lost and feel like a failure because it hit us unaware and unprepared. Sad to say that most can relate to the latter compared to the former.

And we agree that in cases of change that you did not expect, instead of reacting negatively or feeling sad on such change, take the lighter and positive side, listen to your gut and take a chance. For who knows, such change can be a blessing in disguise.

Thanks alot for the contributions.

We agree that change is caused by strong will, we make it happen. But we’d like to add that change also occurs by circumstances beyond our control or we did not expect.

Although the root cause of that change is because of certain acts we’ve done in the past, still the result created a circumstance that we didn’t expect. And to best address this kind of circumstances, a change we didn’t expect, you may refer to 5 stages of change.

Hope the above article helped you create the change that you want. Thanks for your feedbacks.

Three things to do prior to bringing a determined change are three best commands to have effective change.
I would humbly like to add, change does not occur , it has to be caused by strong will.

Good post. I would add that sometimes change happens to you and you have to react in some way. There is no such thing as security so at any moment change can visit you. What to do then? Reacting in some way can mean rolling with the changes, going against the change to maintain your goals or simply being quiet and seeing where the change will take you.
Life seems to be, for me, a series of decisions that lead to other decisions and at times thinking about your decision too much can result in inaction, stagnation or bad decisions.
Sometimes you just have to listen to your, “gut” and take a chance.

To the uninitiated reader, your steps may seem simple, but they are ever so necessary and crucial to the success of any change.

The only thing I would add is “Make the decision to change in a quiet, private place at a quiet, private time”.

Well written!
