Coping with change

“When the storm is brewing and the winds are picking up all around you, moving to a different place in yourself is much more important than moving to a different place on the mountain”

Taken from Michael Gerber’s The E-Myth Mastery: The Seven Essential Disciplines for Building a World-Class Company.

If we consider that our own personal world is like a mountain, then this quote is very apt. Imagine climbing a mountain when the weather suddenly changes; the very first thing that needs to be done at least is to stop and take a decision about whether to continue climbing or not — and if you can’t do that. What is required is an inner shift. From that inner shift, you begin to think different, thoughts, feel differently than before, and consequently take different actions. That’s what’s required of us now, in these challenging times.
