The Change Effect

By Chris You are not ready for any change unless you are starting it already. You should be very aware of the difference in life experiences to feel comfortable with the changes. I think it is not about the time the change is happening but more about what the change is. I am always aware of the change that is coming when it is coming. I once was in another program and then I moved to %COMPANY%. First, I was very worried but with time I became comfortable, so I felt better. The thing that made me feel comfortable was the people that were here to help me get to know the classes and the schedule, so I felt much better very soon. The other thing that helped me was the fact that I really liked the people and the activities. Really life is hard but with knowledge you can do anything you imagine, it can happen. I think everyone is doing the things that change their lives. On the new changes it can be tough to know to react well to the change. It is the way you learn about it you can really change your life. It is all your lifetime to find new doings and new things. I think everyone can celebrate change.
