Changing before the change

Lots of things (people, scenarios, conditions, etc) undergo change around us and we wonder why the change is happening. We are too tuned into our routine life and we do not like to change. Anything new is welcomed mostly with some sort of apprehensions. We try our level best to resist the change because accepting the change will require us to come out of out of our comfort zone.

Above case is applicable to the majority...

But I have seen a minority which deals with change bit differently. As a matter of fact I can divide the group into two sets - one which aligns with changes in the system and the other which changes before the change.

The first set is the one which is least affected by any change i.e. they do not have any negative as well as positive impact; they simply survive the change.

The second set is the one which caught my attention, the one which changes before the change. I would like to clarify the phrase "changing before the change". It’s not about undergoing a change yourself and then trying to change the system; then it’s almost equivalent to non-alignment. It means to sense the change before it actually happens.

This set of people is the one who are in most comfortable position to reap benefits from a change. It’s very tough to be in this group; also very exciting...
