I was just thinking about you the other day. It’s great to hear from you!

Yes, those FGO’s are a challenge, aren’t they? I like to say that the longest dirty word in the language is “comfortable.” As soon as you get comfortable, growth stops. :)

Enjoy the rain – I know that I am!

13 times? Wow. I moved a bunch as a kid, but not so much in the last 15 years. I AM enjoying the purging process – right now, I’m giving away more than I’m moving. That makes me happy. :)

Thanks for the good wishes! :)

When it’s all over with, you’ll look back at this and laugh. I’ve moved 13 times, and it’s a lot of work. But you get the chance to discard a lot of junk in the process and “start fresh.”

All the best,
Melanie

Love your article – thanks as always. :-)

Reminds me of what my spiritual teacher refers to as FGO’s (F’ing Growth Opportunities!); not comfy, but ultimately, we’re here for growth and learning, or the game is over.

And as the world speeds up and we all seem to accelerate towards and through more change and FGO’s, we’ll all need to do a lot less whining and a lot more stretching…

Now, time for me to get back to it and walk my talk…

Best wishes from a rainy and cold-ish Edinburgh (not too different from Portland…)

Matthew

I don’t mind change. I just want the change to be exactly what I want, when I want it to happen. Is that so bad? :)

Teeple Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:08:17 +0000 http://www.seocopywriting.com/?p=8451#comment-46512 Good luck with the move Heather! I can completely understand your desire to stay put.

Not a huge fan of change myself, I have realized that sometimes you just have to do it.

A great quote from the movie The Shawshank Redemption is “Get busy living, or get busy dying.” That is true for our businesses. If you’re not open to change, you can’t live and grow, which means you are just dying.

It’s not easy, but we all have to be aware of potential changes and be willing to change.

As you pointed out, change in an organization isn’t any easier especially if the idea came from someone else – now if only you could get everyone in the organization to gain mass enlightenment.
