View change as a positive and necessary part of growth.

Change pushes improvements because we think of solutions to problems and adapt to different situations. None of us has control over change and its impact, so we should embrace it to explore our capabilities, skills, and expertise in new potential development.

I know an artist, Mia, who has a unique style. Her work had been good, but it didn’t stand out. Eager to grow, Mia tried doing things differently. The initial transition was tough; her new work (mostly paintings) didn’t receive the acclaim of the old, and she considered returning to her old style.

But Mia persisted. She reminded herself that setting herself apart would take time. Similarly, I went through the same thing as a video editor years ago. I got tired of my style and started editing differently to achieve creative fulfillment. It took a while, but gradually, our viewers began to enjoy the humor I incorporated into the videos.

Back to Mia. Slowly, her skills improved, and she revealed a new collection. The response was overwhelmingly positive. People were impressed by her skill and moved by her depth, which came from perseverance and willingness to change.

Growth requires stepping into the unknown and enduring challenges. Mia learned that while change can be tricky, patience and persistence in adversity lead to rewarding and fulfilling outcomes. Her experience proved that the most significant growth often occurs beyond our comfort zone.
