Embrace Change!

Change Is The Very Essence Of Life!

So often, in life, we find ourselves in the same old routine. We ask people the age-old question, "How are things going?". We get the age-old answer...same old thing...different day. It's sometimes hard to believe that we were completely opposite of this as children.

As children, we lived our lives with constant change. As a matter of fact, each day, sometimes each minute of each day, brought new change. That's what made life exciting! That's why we didn't want to go to sleep at night. We didn't want to miss out on anything that could possibly happen. We embraced change, we didn't avoid it. We couldn't wait for the next exciting change to take place. As children we didn't have comfort zones or limitations. The sky was the limit! Fantasies and dreams were reality and the tooth fairy wasn't mom and dad.

Change is what provided education, experience and growth. Yet, even though each of us has experienced these life-transforming events, all because of change, we avoid it today like the plague. We look at change as devastating, disappointing and, often, even as failure.

While we are so fortunate to have the ability to look around us and to see how beneficial change has been to all of us, we still avoid this precious part of life. Through the course of history, great individuals have come along at different times to provide drastic changes that have impacted our lives for the better: Henry Ford - taking individual travel from horse and buggy to bicycle to automobile; the Wright brothers - taking group travel from train to ship to aircraft; Martin Luther King, Jr. - taking lives from slavery to having rights to freedom; Thomas Edison - taking fire to candles to oil burning lamps to light bulbs. These names are just a few on the long list of many. And, as drastic and important as these changes have been in each of our lives, it is hard to believe all of these great individuals faced overwhelming opposition on their way to creating change.

However, while these changes are evident of the power of change, none is more important than the example of what the big engineer upstairs has created. Nature...the change of the seasons, the change of the weather, the change that life and death bring everyday. There is no more significant sign that change is the true essence of life and without it we're merely existing. While these examples may seem far above what we can accomplish, for each of us it is no different. Although, at this time, we may not view ourselves as impactful as the names mentioned above, we are to ourselves, our families and to each other.

Knowing how important change is drives me to give a home to change, to support change, to dedicate my life to change and to ultimately help change people's lives. With this as Gregg Amerman Company's goal, it is undoubtedly going to come with tremendous opposition and ridicule, as all the people who fear change and feel that we should not upset the apple cart will scrutinize what we are doing. Together, we are working to be the changers and the doers battling against the non-changers and the non-doers. We are the underdogs; we are looked upon as the enemy. We are viewed as the problem when, in reality, we are the hidden favorite...the dedicated hero and the only solution.

So what does all of this mean? It simply means that each of us must stand strong and accept what people will never accept...the challenge of change. We must meet it head on. We must wield our sword and shield and fight through all the nay-sayers, through all our fears and self-imposing limitations and realize that, in the end, the only winners are those who embrace change.

Are ready to face the challenge of change? Are ready to conquer this worthy opponent, knowing that as we go, we are out manned and we are out gunned? Or, are you going to realize it doesn't matter? Because we've learned that with a positive mental attitude and a superior state of mind, we are going to win anyway!

Embrace Change And Win Big!
