Change

Does not matter if you are ready or not, change happens!
Think back you and I were completely happy in our mother's belly's, some of us, were running out of room. while others had plenty of room to stretch and swim around but change came. We awoke to a freezing cold world where funny things were touching and poking us and then we got to meet some sweaty lady that we knew as soon as we heard her speak this is familiar. That familiarity is what pushed us along everything else was new, but the voices of our mom's and dad's was known somewhere in our brains so life was okay. It didn't take long to see if you made noise those parents would come running and figure out what you needed. Then you hit 5 and mom and dad took you to this giant building with all these big kids running around they snapped a couple pictures and left you there with a handful of other kids your age and one adult? This was kindergarten and it was okay because mom and dad and your new best friend Bob said it was okay.
Before I left my job a few weeks ago, we talked about change all the time and how in the cut throat business world you will adapt to change or you will be left behind. So if I refuse to change I'll be left in the dark ages. With how technology changes I could very well be but, if you flip over the thought process and look from a different angle will my refusal to change be weak or strong? Let me explain look at a VCR? Do you have one? If so how lucky are you? It was the first DVR you could record television and fast forward through commercials, now if I stay up with technology I'd have to go buy a DVD player to play my movies on and a DVR to record my television shows plus with a DVR I have to purchase a cable package. Come to find out during my move, the free channels on television with bunny ears are NBC, CBS and ABC, so unless you need 150 channels of advertisements you may be getting ripped off. Oh and their are 10 free Spanish channels that tells me the Hispanic community has protested against cable and they are getting their television stations for free. Just something to consider free vs. 40 cable bill. Anyway while running I find it helps to break in a pair of shoes but then I'm told a pair of shoes can only log a set amount of miles before you need to get a new pair. My running shoes are good to go and I've been running in them for 2 years now. I do have two pairs I enter change so that has helped the life of my shoes but I have also bought both pairs on clearance sales. I found one pair at a Nike outlet and like those shoes for shorter faster runs where as I think my feet swell when I run longer distances so on those days I enjoy my Adidas shoes. According to magazines and sites I've read I should have thrown out my shoes twice now! Change will continue to come but for now I've had enough change.
Happy weekend!
