Making a Change

By
Real Estate Agent

Change is inevitable, but most of us resist it.

Change can be inconvenient.  It may take time to reposition your life to accommodate the change and you may have to notify lots of people about it, such as change of address, name, or office.

Change can bring hardships, especially when it's out of your control, and you may think nothing positive can come from it.  However, there are stories of people who have recovered from devastating events  and built a life beyond their wildest dreams.  

Change can be beneficial, and this is usually the intent of changes we initiate ourselves.  If you're change of seasondissatisfied with an aspect of your life and/or have a general sense of boredom, that may be an indication that a change is needed.

My view is that when you get to a point (in just about any situation) where the perceived disadvantages/negatives outweigh the advantages/positives, it's time to make a change.  

Sometimes a small change in attitude will make a big difference;  other times, more drastic action is needed.  Investigate your options and try them out mentally for a few weeks.  If the proposed change feels good, go for it.

I have taken my own advice and recently moved my license to Advanced Realty at 2344 Centerville Road, suite 105, Tallahassee, FL 32308.

Great post Colleen! At least your doing something about it. People know they need to make a change but do not do anything about it. They complain to no end and then wonder why they are still unhappy. :)

Change is always scary but most of the time it can be managed.  Life is an adventure and change makes it fun.  Good luck at your new office.

Change is always good for the soul.  As Yogi Berra one said, "When you come to the fork in the road, take it!"  There are no wrong choices.

Way to be proactive. Obviously you realized it was time and made your move. You could have been frozen in fear, but you weren't. Good luck.

As I get older, rather than resisting change; I find myself embracing it.  Best of luck to you!
