This great post attracted me, the list seems very complete to me. I like the point of “Take full ownership of your actions”. For me this is the base of all points. Our actions will make us to better or worse at living.cameronsharpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14577471851959682892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993558476183258840.post-47599970527154404482009-01-04T08:29:00.000-08:002009-01-04T08:29:00.000-08:00Netta:<BR/><BR/>Agreed! Many people are like you, who have realized that change is a part of life...they "tuck and roll" through the toughest parts of their lives, while others forget how to do this and become paralyzed by the overwhelm. Some people have never learned this skill and spend their whole lives resisting or avoiding change.<BR/><BR/>I believe we are at the beginning of seeing several generations who will not be able to "tuck and roll" with the changes that will come as a part of their lives. The style of parenting we use, along with the way our educational system approaches teaching and rewarding our children doesn't serve our children well. We have gone out of our way to soften the blow of change, while not teaching a good work ethic and masterful coping skills. This is a discussion or subject unto itself!<BR/> <BR/>Successful people thrive during periods of change...in fact, they yearn for it. I am not worried about these people. I am worried about the growing number of men and women who hit mid-life and have forgotten or never learned how to "tuck and roll". <BR/><BR/>My next article will be on resistance to change. I hope you stay tuned. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comment.Amy L.

No, it's not easy. Sometimes, it sucks. When things have been the "status quo" for so many years, our changing mindset can become rusty and stiff.<BR/><BR/>Tuck and roll, baby. Change will happen no matter what. The trick is to learn out to roll *with* it, and not against it.Nettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05660181882760446931noreply@blogger.com
