In the world that we live in, change
is constantly occurring. Most of the changes affects our daily norms or just
push us out of the comfort zone. Most of the times, we just have to adapt to
survive in this harsh environment.
One example would be my work
environment. It is a fast-paced and hostile environment. Going to work without
my body armor proved to be deadly for me. After a few weeks, I had to adapt to
the environment to survive. I would put on my body armor before work and take
it off after work. The first few days were hard to adjust, but after a
continuous pattern, I’ve established it as a norm. I think this adaptation is
good for my own mental and physical health as well as having a job. It may not
seem like a good job, but it’s a stepping stone to my career.
Another change that I had to adapt
was the time when I resumed leadership position in my gaming group. There was a
new chatting system and a new website for doing our business. Although I was
unfamiliar with the system for the chat and the website, I adapted to the
change and went along with it. This change allowed our gaming group to be more
active, social, and more fun. The easy accessibility of that chat allowed us to
know more about the other members and establish friendships.
From my experience, change is
constant. In order to thrive in this world, one must adapt and establish new
norms. If we continue to stay within our comfort zone and don’t step out of it,
we are behind and missing out of the potential opportunities. Take a leap of
faith and walk forward to adapt to new changes as they occur in your life. It
may seem like a bad choice in the beginning, but it’s worth it.
