Honestly it's all about perspective. There's good and bad. You can look at change from either side and focus on what you choose to but it won't eradicate the opposing point of view. Every big game has a winner and a loser. Take March Madness for instance. The beauty of the college basketball tournament isn't tarnished by the fact that the losing team is crying on the court. The focus is on the joy of the kids that get to live another day in pursuit of a dream. Same thing with change. If a door is closing, sitting in front of it dwelling on the fact that it's closed won't do you any good. Instead, focus on finding out what doors must have opened as a result of the previous door's closing. That's the key. It's all about finding the next venture, the next big thing. Revert to the poem up top, take the first letter from each comparison and you'll see that Change is business. It's just the way things operate. There's no way around it, it's inevitable. And if you don't manage it properly, you'll collapse. You can even substitute business for change in the poem. It's important to focus on the positive. A wise man once told me "Life is too short to dwell upon your sorrows. Stressing about today will make you miss tomorrow." Don't be sour about the lemons life has given you. Find your lemonade. I'm at a point in my life where a lot of things are changing and I was/am utterly terrified. It's tough. But change isn't the end of the world, the absence of change is. When things change don't panic, just make a path. Cause if you follow your heart, you're guaranteed to make it back. Every single thing happens for a reason. So focus on finding the reason as opposed to being caught up on the change itself. Contrary to everything we've ever learned about coins, change doesn't always make sense.
