Types of Change

As discussed previously change is a constant we encounter in life and has several types. These include change that happens arounds us, change that happens to us, change that happens within us and change that we make happen.

Taking a good look at these types, we realize that as the types progress there is a shift from heavily influenced by external forces to becoming more centred on the individual. We notice that the said individual starts to take more personal responsibility for what is happening around him/her, thereby initiating change.

Factors affecting change

There are several factors affecting change… Though change is a constant we must face, a principle of creation really. For without change, everything would be static and life cannot be supported in a static state. This makes appreciating change so very important. There are several factors affecting change, such as, reasons for change, influences of change and the environment.

In the words of Dr Munroe, “change will happen to you, with you, around you and without you”. It is therefore, up to us on a personal level to use what we know about change and its variables, to manage the change we experience in such a way that we are not left behind but we adapt to meet the demands of life.

Let us therefore, adapt to meet the demands of life and change the narrative…
