Two Points On Handling Change In A Fast Moving World

Pumpkin In Field It amazes me both in real estate and in life how resistive we are to change. Change is constant and you are not going to stop it. I think as we get older we want things to freeze in place, our income, our friends, our settings, our way of doing things. It is not going to happen. But two things to hang your hat on in handling change in a fast moving world:

1) The more things change the more they stay the same. Some things are seasonal and cyclical like holidays. Enjoy the new characters inserted into those traditions.

2) Serenity - separate the out of control change from that change which you can impact. It will give you peace.

Happy Halloween to everyone!!!

Your point about serenity is sound. It just doesn't pay to stress over that which you can not change.

Hi Gary! I love that gigantic smiling jack-o-lantern! Hope you have a Happy Halloween!

Hi Gary,

Thank you for sharing an informative and helpful article, and Happy Holloween.

You seriously have the best pictures Gary. Happy Halloween.

Gary, Thank you for the great message regarding change...it's going to happen anyway! Happy Halloween to you!

Hey, Gary. You could not have said it better. Thanks for the wonderful words and I hope that you have a Happy Halloween, Jim

Gary - Happy Halloween, my man. Serenity now:)

Very good point Gary. Now about that pumpkin...That took a bit of fertilizer.

Jason stole my thunder but I'll say it anyway... Serenity Now!! xxoo

I can't get used to the new "Casual" pic of you!!

There's a lot to be said for peace and serenity...I've always loved that Serenity prayer.

We all want time to stop. Or maybe just our bodies.

Gary: Now that's one gigantic pumpkin ! Death, taxes and change is ever constant.

Gary - Those are two super points regarding change. Am re-reading "Who Moved my Cheese ? " and really getting into it. I can be resistant to change sometimes and these are great reminders of how great it is : )

Ah, Change...The more you fight it, the more things change! Happy Halloween, Gary!

Changing?? Older??? Who?? What?? ME??? HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Great advice! Hope you had some fun this Halloween! :-)

Gary, this was a terrific article. Thank you!

I love change (I guess that's why I'm not married!). Love that big 'ole pumpkin. Thank you.

I think change frightens some people. It's an unknown factor, and they are not comfortable with change. But I love adventure and view change as an opportunity to explore, grow and learn!

How many pumpkin pies came out of that huge pumpkin?

Gary-I am for serenity. That pumpkin patch looks familiar except for a different pumpkin head in this one. LOL
