When you think about the major changes you’ve made in your own
life and what empowered you to take that leap forward, it seems like there is a
completely opposite reaction when the change is forced on you. Maybe it’s the feeling of enslavement as a
change is thrust upon you.
When my first marriage ended, a friend told me how lucky I
was, that growth can only happen when something changes. In the moment, I wasn’t thankful for that
change; I was full of sorrow and mourned the failed relationship. But in hindsight he was right; during that
time, I figured out who I was, who I wanted to be, and what I wanted my life to
look like.
My department at work has been in the midst of changes for approximately
fifty years*, and I’m finally turning the corner and have started embracing the
change. If I list my top ten favorite
things about my job, there’s a good chance none of them will be true in six
months, but in the meantime, I get to enjoy those things every single day and
(hopefully) figure out the top ten things at the end of the change.
