“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.”
John F. Kennedy

Think about it, change is inevitable. At this very moment, for instance, your body and cells are changing. The earth, economy, technology, how we do business, and even how we communicate is changing. You can choose to resist the changes that are always afoot and ultimately be swept away by them. Alternatively, you could choose to cooperate with change, adapt to change, and benefit from change all the while stepping into greater levels of your prosperity.

I believe most people resist change without often realizing it. They have unconscious and sometimes conscious fears, resentments, and even perhaps anxiety that arises when change occurs. Although they seek a more prosperous life, both financially and in their lifestyle, they end up doing the one thing that can ignite this new result, resisting change.

When you consciously embrace change wholeheartedly as an inevitable part of life, and align your focus to creatively seek ways to utilize new changes to make your life more abundant, easier, and fulfilling, your life will work evolve with a more graceful flow. You will experience change as an opportunity for growth and new experiences. You will energize your spirit and higher self with possibility and wonderment.

In an effort to help you practice this prosperity tool wholeheartedly, I want you to remember back to a time when you experienced a change but resisted. Perhaps it was a move, a job transfer, a change in heart, a change in how you do business, or even your family dynamics shifting – a change you were going to have to deal with and you thought it was the worst thing in the world. What happened once you surrendered to the change? Did you life actually eventually improve? Can you look back now and say, “Wow, I’m grateful that happened. Look at all the good it eventually brought me?”

If you can always remember that you’ve been through changes in the past – and that they’ve largely worked out for the best – you can begin to approach each new change with the excitement and anticipation you should. To help embrace any change, ask yourself the following questions:

What’s changing in my life that I’m currently resisting?
Why am I resisting that change?
What am I afraid of with respect to this change?
What am I afraid might happen to me?
What’s the payoff for my keeping things the way they are?
What benefits might there be in this change?
What would I have to do to cooperate with this change?
What’s the next step I could take to cooperate with this change?
When will I take it?

Prosperous people appreciate and embrace change as a universal law of life, as they understand, that if they are not changing and growing, they are not creating more space to accommodate the new desired levels of prosperity they wish to receive in all areas of their life. This year, ask yourself what new results you would like to see unfold in all areas of your life, especially financially and then ask yourself what new changes you would need to embrace to see these results manifest.
