Albert Einstein once said, “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change” Does change make you cringe?  It does for most people. Change is not easy yet it’s the only way you can make a difference in how we experience and grow in life. Do you remember the first time you drove a car?  You didn’t know how hard to push on the accelerator or how quickly to hit the brake.  Heck, you wanted to use two feet! Suddenly, there was this jerking forward and back. But, each time you learned a little.  Suddenly, it became smooth.  Then, you got a little cocky and said you were ready for the interstate.  You begin cruising down the exit ramp and the cars start swooshing by you.  You quickly accelerate faster asking yourself which mirror am I supposed to check? Finally, you’re in a lane.  The slowest person driving.  Vehicles are flying by you.​​​​​​​ After a few more practice runs the process gets smoother and smoother each time. With world events, it’s about examining what’s working and what’s not working in life, biz, and relationships right now.  Are you the same person today that you were ten years ago? Doubtful.  I even bet you’re not the same person now that you were three months ago either. If you are the same person, examine if you’re complaining instead of changing. How fast are you changing your perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? This requires a constant examination. While this may seem obvious, what you choose to actually do is not.  One of my mentors always says, common sense is not common practice. Here at Priority Retreats International we’re constantly re-examining what’s working and what’s not and adapting with current circumstances, too. Moving forward from this point on, we will start video blogs. The times are changing and so are we. Adapting is key. After all, that’s why Adapting is the number one leadership skill to have. Always remember this: “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” ~Socrates Focus on the harmony you want to feel instead of the destruction you see. Be part of the collaboration efforts not the complaining cries. Create the policies you want to see not just from social media. Be the change you want to see in this world. Evolution is not about adapting and creating what you want to see in the world. Wishing you an abundant, joyful and prosperous day!
