There is but one constant in life and that is change. All things change. Seasons change, landscapes change, and people change. Change is inevitable. You must be prepared for change. Be adaptable. Learn to be ready to change when and if necessary. It is not always convenient but it is prudent.

Build your confidence. Be sure of what you know. In all things gain an understanding. When the tide turns be willing to change with it.

Why be Adaptable

One of the greatest disadvantages that people have in maintaining success is failure to adapt. They cannot thrive in high pressured situations or situations that require one to be quick thinking, or possess the ability to maintain and take control of non-patterned, unique, and variant conditions and situations. Possessing the talent and ability to change course at a moment notice with finesse, wit, and success is greatly sought after and it is a precious trait to any who possesses it, especially in a volatile world such as the one we have inherited.

Adaptability can be Learned

Just like all other traits one can to learn how to adapt. This is one of the most difficult traits to learn but it is one that is most worth it. The best way to learn to adapt to change is to learn how to change small things purposely.  Adopt a vegetarian life style for a week. Change the order in which you do things for a month. Take up an activity that you are not accustomed to such as running or volunteering at a crisis center. Create change and learn to adapt. Learn how to be spontaneous. Just do something different without consternation. Be excited about the new activity without knowing what to expect.

For some learning to adapt is easy. Experience is a master teacher.For those who have experienced constant changes throughout their lives they have an advantage. That does not mean that it cannot be mastered. Once mastered, you will be a force to be reckoned with.
