5 THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU EMBRACE THE CURRENT CHANGE/DISRUPTION

EMBRACE CHANGE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES



According to George Couros "change is an opportunity to do something amazing, he also said some change will come your way and you need to see solutions where most see obstacles. You either go through or grow through it"

Dan pink also said "change is inevitable, and when it happens, the wisest response is not to wail or whine but to suck it up and deal with it"

Now the pandemic (Corona virus) has brought about a change/disruption which means the way of doing things are not the same anymore like it or not. Organizations are restructuring like wise businesses, so as a young person what are you doing with the change? 

The world has changed and it's not business as usual but with the world changing we need to embrace it and move with it. Take advantage of everything opportunity now and make your tomorrow better.

I have identified 5 things that can help you embrace change and take advantage of current opportunities. 

They are:

1. Learn to Celebrate Progress: with the pandemic disrupting businesses and other social activities. There are people who have been able to achieve great things. They have looked above the pandemic to a positive angle and are doing mighty things. So as young people we should strive to look above challenges and make progress. And to make progress, we have to take steps in the right direction. Maybe a new skill, or new tools. It can even be reading a book or taking a new course that will better position for that dream job. and whatever progress you are making, celebrate it. Be happy and Joyful. 

2. Get rid of old Practices: for instance Nigeria as a nation relies solemnly on crude oil for decades with the pandemic (Corona virus) causing a change in the world, the price has drastically dropped and the economy struggling. New practices need to be introduced to be able to meet up with the world. As a young person do not be too accustomed to doing things the old way. Create new sources. Look out for old habits and behaviors that must be changed and make the necessary changes.

3. Embrace Flexibility: as young people we should be receptive to change, change is good. Embrace new ideas that will move you to your next level of achieving that which you have set for yourself. when things does not work out the way you planned...it is fine. Change plan and still head out for the goal. The most important thing is to have a clear picture of your vision. the plan can change but let it not derail you. Be flexible enough to accept detours.

4.Create New Approaches : as human beings God has blessed us with beautiful ideas and it's up to us to take advantage of such ideas, move with it despite the challenges that we face everyday. Detours and flexibility will demand new approaches. You have to engage in strategic thinking that will help you actualize your ideas.

5. Refuse to Accept Failure: Resilience is required to embrace change, the pandemic brought fear and doubt in the hearts of many but refuse to stay there. Do not allow it to take-over your goals and dreams of achieving something great for yourself. Learn from failure. Successful people has discovered that failures is an integral part of success. Don't accept it. Just learn from it.

If you practice these 5 things, you will be in better position to embrace change and produce the next big thing in your life. You can start today. Change begins with you!
