I Thrive for Change
Posted by nathan on 06 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: my life., thoughts on life.
I was thinking this morning, I like change–I thrive on change.
One of the driving forces behind my work is: There has to be a better way.
I am always open to change, and I’m always looking for change.
That’s not to say I change everything all the time, because I don’t. I have worked at the same job for more than six years. I’ve lived in the same house for over five years. I have gotten to date or be married to the same woman for more than four years.
But here’s the deal–I am not doing the same things, the same way, as I was doing six years. My house doesn’t look the same today as it did five years ago. My relationship with my wife isn’t the same today as it was four years ago.
I thrive on change. There has to be a better way to organize everything going on. There has to be a better way to save money on car insurance than switching to Geico (there is, and I did it about a year ago). There has to be a way to save money by cutting costs, not increasing taxes.
I want to find that costs to cut, I want to save money, I want to save time, i want to change. I thrive on change. Do you?
What benefit is there to avoiding change at all costs? Is it worth it to avoid change at all costs? Is it worth it to thrive on change?

I’ve learned in any business, you have to have continuous improvement; otherwise your competitors will eat you up, because they are continually improving.
And, continuous improvement shouldn’t be limited to business. It applies at home, even to yourself (education, business ventures, etc.)
The only thing that never changes is the fact that everything changes. One must go with the flow or get ran over!
