Change?

How do you handle change?

Some people just can’t handle it. Good or bad, if it messes with their routine, they’re frazzled, upset and/or even derailed.

If you struggle with that, by the way, there is a simple, entertaining, and essential book you should read called Who Moved My Cheese.

But of course, we all crave a certain degree of certainty.

Tony Robbins even identifies it as one of the six human needs.

And certainly, on the other end of the discussion, wherein consistency and habit are the building blocks of success, you should also read The Compound Effect, The Slight Edge or Atomic Habits- or all three.

Each describes the truth that our habits, and specifically the small things that we do consistently over time, are more predictive of our future success than any other thing.

I say all this was to set up this apparent dichotomy though:

I also believe that we must be flexible within our routines to develop the highest level of effectiveness, balance, productivity, and movement towards our wildly important goals.

I’ll write and talk more about this next week in our Blackbelt Leadership classes and in my blogs and my podcasts.

But suffice it to say for now, that we must master this paradox- the mean between the two extremes- when it comes to the question of how much structure versus how much flexibility as pertains to our schedules, roles and goals.

I’m looking forward to it!

I hope you are now too!

It’s an important subject.

Between now and then, if you didn’t hear my Facebook live on the subject this morning (yesterday by the time you’re reading this), you can watch it now.

And I go live at 11 every weekday morning, so join me there today if you’re reading this early, and/or any day you’d like to- and if not, look for them later if you want, and say hi so i know you’re there if you come on live!

If you’re a KMMA Blackbelt Leadership student, I hope to see you in class or my Leadership/CIT tonight! 

I’ll be talking on our mission and how to survive and thrive in any circumstance!

If you’re not a student yet, we hope to meet you soon! 

Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
