Adapting to change.

This is one skill that you just can’t do without in the 21st century. I’m saying this from personal experience.

Every now and then you will require to make changes to how to live life. What your day looks like. All of it will need to change at some point.

But afterall it’s in human nature to resist change. So it’s nothing easy to do but is definitely important.

If I give you a personal example, I recently got a remote internship at a startup based in San Francisco, so I’ve to work during the night hours. But also during the morning I’ve to work on my own projects, meet different people, attend conferences and after all this ensure that I’m not neglecting family.

It sure looks super cool when you first read it. But you know what, I had to to totally overhaul my sleep schedule because of this. I’m someone who never compromises on sleep. I didn’t even stay up late during my school exams even though I had not prepared fully. Maybe that’s why I failed most of them but that’s a different story.

I still try to not compromise on my sleep. But now I sleep in chunks or maybe around early morning. The way I used to sleep a week back was totally easy going. But now it required change.

Even you will come across stages in life when you will require to change. Your lifestyle will require to change. If you wake up late in the morning, tomorrow there’s a possibility you will be required to be up at 4 for your new job.

Acknowledge that you are resistant to change, everyone is, but don’t give up on it. For it is one skill that you’ll need to embrace in the 21st century.

Find comfort in change.
