Can't answer these questions? You're in good company!* Do you feel anxious when you believe you are not in control and do not REALLY know what's going to happen next?* Are you afraid to get up in the morning because life is scary? There are millions like you in our crazy, fast-paced modern world.* Could it be that you are happy in your comfort zone and lost outside it? Sounds like change has you in its thrall. We are not talking clinical depression here or illness, just a general malaise that leaves you unable to carry on your life without feeling that you want to stop the world and get off. It could be just a fear of change. This can be very debilitating and leave one with an inability to see things from a positive point of view, continually thinking about the past and how much better things seemed to be back then. The past is the past. Shakespeare: "Things without all remedy should be without regard: what's done is done." We cannot live in the past. We have no guaranteed future and this moment, the present is all we can be sure of. And this "present", will be different from those days gone by. It has to be. Ray Kroc of McDonald's fame is credited with first delivering the statement, "We are either 'green and growing', or we are 'ripe and rotting'. Change is inescapable."What this means is that we must be growing/changing each and every day. Yes, you and me and the world itself. Things will not be the same tomorrow as they are today. It's a fact. Being afraid of change is perhaps like worrying that the sun won't come up in the morning, or that the tide won't come back in. These things WILL happen. How do you overcome this resistance to change? This wish that everything was like it was yesterday? Colin Rochford has written a lovely little book that helps you understand that not all change is bad and that even bad changes have silver linings. He includes a potted history of the world, (with a fantastic timeline diagram) showing a few of the massive changes that have beset the human race. The book gives you a way of understanding why changes happen, how they affect you and what to do about them. Specifically, it will help you to overcome your fear of change and turn it into a positive force for good. It will give insights into how change has been managed throughout history and helps you transform from being frightened and threatened by change to someone who embraces the very thought of it and heads out into the sea of humanity each day with a spring in his/her step, ready for whatever the universe throws out. After reading this book you will be transformed. You will no longer wish to stay in your comfort zone. You will want and need, to push past the boundary conditions of your life and leap into the unknown. Living with a growth mentality. Don't just believe me, when I say this is a book you need to read. M.Bukowska, Indie Author, Poet September 2019Colin walks with us through the steps to help us navigate and welcome changes in our lives - big & small, and he keeps guiding us through the labyrinth of life and our own minds until we too, get (re)infected with Colin's zest for truly experiencing life.
