Ride the Change

Do you agree that change holds the most potential for success? It depends on if the change is necessary or not. There is no sense in change for change sake. Yes, change should occur, especially if it is needed. Are there times when change is negative? For example, you may know of people (or employers) who change just for the sake of change, rather than thinking through what they're trying to accomplish. It can be seen as negative if the reason for change is not clear. The reason for change needs to be clear, honest and upfront, otherwise how do you make the right changes if the initial issue is unclear. Can you think of a period in your life that was a time of great change? This year has been a year of great change. I created an art club that will go in front of the school board in April to become an Art Team. How did this influence you? This has been an incredibly fruitful, yet time consuming opportunity. I know it is all for the greater good for the kids, but starting this change would have been better suited for after my Masters was accomplished. At times I question if this change made me a better person. One person can only do so much and this was too much for me and my family. Hoping for lots of changes that are needed for next year. Sometimes doing less can be a good change to:) Are you better or worse off today for having gone through this? I will be better off when it is all done. Right now I am still in the struggling stage of trying to balance my time, which is completely out of balance. My time is not where my priorities are right now. Period in my life: Trying to get through Masters and a lot has happened this last year. Effect on me: I have accomplished a lot which is great for me and my students, but I constantly feel that my family (My #1 Priority) deserves better than this and that changes will need to occur for next year. Too many changes at once can push too hard, causing a negative personal affect.
