Changes are inevitable

I was convinced by my family to write a little about change, sharing thoughts and experiences that can be useful in other people's journeys.

Obviously the changes that occur in our lives will always happen in a controlled or uncontrolled way. In both cases there may be ways to prepare, it depends on our ability to anticipate and react. But, surely, there will always be the possibility to choose how to walk through the process of change.

It is important to keep the choices in perspective during these processes helping us to potentiate the results of changes in our lives. I live with my family in São Paulo / BR, one of the most impacted places by COVID, my wife works in the health service and is at the forefront of this war every day. At home we have to manage the demand of our 3 pre-teen boys. Little was possible to plan for a situation like this, but the attention to the choices during that moment allowed to develop creative ways to help them in a new teaching format, in exercising patience and understanding, in seeking quality time with family. Choices help the path and make us better human beings during this transformation.

An interesting side of the changes is the freedom to be able to recreate you, reevaluate priorities, redesign what is expected of you.

Maybe in our personal and professional lives we imagine that there is a correct answer, we see only one path, we fix our gaze in a single direction, this is not how it works. It is nice to realize that there are many possibilities and that our ability to adapt and flex is much greater than we think.

If you are or will go through a process of change try not to focus only on the logical part, in some moments of life the classifications of what is better and worse will help you little, maybe you will not have all the information and will not be able to create premises or assumptions - for the more creative, the mind will play a huge amount of situations that most of the time will not happen.

Here is what I would like to hear before going through recent changes: seek to learn from the changes, I guarantee you will always find a positive side. Face the possibility of failure without fear and anxiety because living the process goes beyond the rational. Be grateful to the past, but don't be a prisoner of it. Mostly, be happy, the change will take you further!

Thank you D, M, J, D, B you live the changes with me.
