Adaptibility

One of the four books that I discuss and promote in my seminar Seeds For Success is Spencer Johnson's books "Who Moved My Cheese?".  It is a little book that contains a parable about the subject of change.  It is an outstanding reminder of the reality of change and how we should learn to handle changes in our lives.  By the way, it has sold over thirty million copies and continues to be used by organizations and businesses worldwide.

One of the seeds of success that we all need to nurture and develop within ourselves is the quality of adaptability.  Adaptability is being able to respond to changing conditions.  It requires that we stay observant of the realities around us, and that we accept the fact that everything in this world, including ourselves, is in the process of change.  The opposite of adaptability is stubbornness .  Many people refuse to accept change and even resist it.  They keep doing things the way same they have always done them and refuse to face the costly impact this decision has on them.

Adaptability begins with learning to accept and embrace the inevitability of change.  In many ways and in most things, change is good - it is just uncomfortable.

Work to overcome your resistance to change.  Learn to anticipate change and even begin to look forward to change.  Bottom line is that adaptability is essential if someone is going to be successful in life.
