3 Career Transition MYTHS about Embracing Change
When I mention "embracing change," most people have misconceptions like
-- "Change is risky and leads to failure..."
-- "Stability is the only way to succeed..."
-- "Adapting to change is difficult and stressful..."
Thinking this way is a disadvantage, especially if you're in the midst of a career transition.
Contrary to popular beliefs, "embracing change" can pave the way for exceptional results.
That’s the reason I aim to dismantle these myths that revolve around "embracing change"..
===> Myth No.1
"People who embrace change tend to fall flat."
This couldn't be further from the truth. Those who adapt to change often find new opportunities that were previously invisible to them.
Start by opening the doors to new potential. Later, decide whether you will take it or not.
===> Myth No.2
"Sticking to your comfort zone is the safest bet."
I played this mantra for far too long in my head. And it nearly ruined me.
You see, the thing people disregard about the comfort zones is they keep shrinking until you are suffocated. In the end, your maneuvering space becomes so tiny that you can die psychologically without even realizing it.
I am dead serious about it. (pun intended)
The devil's attraction to comfort zones is their lullaby song; you are yearning to become calm and peaceful – and once the “comfort zone” catches you in the net – it is hard to get out.
Venturing out of your comfort zone, on the contrary, exposes you to learnings that can open doors to new possibilities you didn’t know even existed.
===> Myth No.3
"Change is synonymous with struggle and worries."
Yes, change might bring challenges.
We are adults, and I am not going to tell you fairy tales or, worse, lie to you.
But it's through these challenges that you gain resilience and the capability to handle even tougher situations in the future.
