8 Rules For Change That Only People Who Aren’t Afraid Of It Know
It can take a very long time to adjust to change.

1. It’s never comfortable at first.
No choice feels like the right choice in the beginning — that’s the cardinal rule of change. Think it as the same type of soreness that surfaces when you try a new workout routine — your muscles need time to adjust. And when you make a change, so does your mind. There’s going to be resistance at first. But all the good stuff is on the other side of that initial discomfort — if you let it stop you from the get-go you’re never going to see what amazing results could follow.
2. It’s going to call on skills you may not have yet.
Change is, by definition, going to demand a different version of yourself — one you may not be familiar with yet. This can be a cause for either panic or celebration. The bad news is that you may trip up as you step into a new set of shoes. The good news is that you get the incredible opportunity to grow into them — should you decide to take it.
