Change isn’t that hard.
You think it is so you let your fears negatively impact your life, work, and art.
But it’s harder to avoid change than to embrace it.
You forget change is your natural state – you grow, evolve, learn, and adapt every day. While your core values and the core people in your life may stay relatively constant, the world they inhabit is in constant motion.
The same is true for business. Products, economics, customer needs, and the value provided is always in flux.
No matter who you are or what you do, the world constantly reshuffles the deck around you.
That’s life.
Despite all the signs that change is an basic part of our daily lives, we continue to tell ourselves change is hard.
But we rarely recognize that not changing is harder.
Digging in your heels, burying your head in the sand, and ignoring the necessity of change leads you down a path that’s ultimately more difficult than the change needed to avoid it.
Not changing stunts your growth as a person and dooms your business.
So the next time you think about how hard it is to change something in your life, it’s worth considering how hard it will be to not change that thing.
It might influence your decision.
