This is the other Blog I wanted to bring from the past. It was originally written on September 21, 2017.
Sometimes, when we live with jewels all of our lives, we forget what is precious. We sometimes take for granted the things that work so well. And tend to ignore those people that are always there.
When we make a change, the ripples affect everything and everyone around us. The larger the change, the stronger the ripples around us are, and the more those who are near us are affected. It is important that we are cognizant of and pay attention to those concerns.
Have you ever been in an earthquake? Having lived around the world, I have been in several earthquakes—some that were over as soon as they started and some that seemed to go on forever. The truth is, the time of earthquakes is usually shorter than you think. The reason it feels longer is that you don’t know when it’s going to stop. Just like earthquakes, ripples caused by one person’s change affect others more deeply when they do not understand what is happening or where the changes are headed.
There is a really neat way to help dampen the ripples of change for both you and those around you. It doesn’t cost anything, takes very little time, and provides everybody involved with great support. Just sit down with those concerned and talk to them about what is happening.
It’s amazing that when people know they can work as a team, they can do all sorts of wonderful things to meet challenges, grow, move in directions, and set the basis to ultimately succeed, no matter what the odds are. Whether you are moving to a new city, changing jobs, planning a retirement, or any number of other things, sit down with those around you, and whatever you do, discuss it and do it together.
Have a great one out there, talk to you again on Monday.
