Dealing with change

Change is the only thing in the world which is permanent! Whether you like it or not, change is inevitable. And for most people like me, who are too lazy to work hard towards their goal, the goals revolve around the new roles assigned to them by change. I can still recount how my goals have kept changing since childhood. And I don't remember which was the last goal achieved (if any), be it regarding personal, career or relationships. Some people measure success in life with the number of goals achieved. I would rather measure success in the way people adapt to changes. There are times when I've found myself clueless, often when fate shows an unexpected number on the dice. One of such situations took me more than a year to react. And by the time I did react, I had already missed the train! That was one of the biggest lessons learnt in life. Never delay your actions. Opportunities do come knocking at your door. It might not be your priority at that instant, but might suddenly become your top priority. And before you realise it, its gone... So the point is, always be receptive to change. Never ignore things in life, no matter how small they are, even though they might be not related to your current goal in any way.
