Acceptance!

I just finished reading 'The Iceberg Is Melting' by John Kotter which I picked up from dad's table secretly :-)
Its a Management book but promises help to everybody from high school students to working professionals.



It suggests something that I could very well relate to..
Accepting and learning from change- the inevitable phenomenon!
The award winning author very finely explains through a fable that somewhere or the other,all of us are living on icebergs that are developing cracks and could melt very soon.The first step towards handling a change has been described as realising AND accepting the fact that unexpected things ARE happening..
Whether we like it or not..Whether we are too good to have such experiences..Things ARE happening..

Things could be in the worst possible condition and hope could be far from sight..But that it IS happening cannot be denied!

And there you go..

Once the threads of complacency are broken..And an acceptance that things are 'Not Okay' comes up..The solution is not far..!

It gives an eight step guide to accessorise our life by learning from each change that comes our way. There would be some who would further mess up things for us when things are already in a mess, others who might seem to be of some help and still others who'll inspire us. But if you trust yourself and know the right way out, then changes become experiences rather than miseries :-)

This was also talked about in Bawa's YES!+ in Delhi of late..

Acceptance-The key to handling Changes :-)

And taking action after acceptance, the key to learning from them! :-)
