Meet “Freak-out” Fred:


“I can’t believe this didn’t go according to plan. I had the next few years of my life mapped out. I’m freakin’ out!”


And meet “Stagnant” Sally:


“I’ve had the same expertise ever since I graduated from college. I was doing really well in my field until the need started to become obsolete. My skills weren’t needed anymore and I never learned anything else. How am I going to survive?!”


We all know a Freak-out Fred or Stagnant Sally. These are the individuals that have a set plan for their life and when things steer off course, all hell breaks loose. They think that doom is impending. Heck, Fred or Sally may even be YOU!


If you have a hard time adjusting to change, whether it involves friends, family, your career etc, then you’re going to have endless bumps on your journey through life. Life’s obstacles will be that much harder for you. Every time a big negative life event happens in your life, it’s going to feel like a boulder hit you. And while you will eventually get over it (because time really does help) wouldn’t you rather be the individual that overcomes the negative almost immediately?


Meet “Dynamic” Dan:


“Wow I can’t believe that incredible business idea didn’t work out. I really thought that was going to be my big break. Oh well, time to move on to my next big idea, I need to achieve my goals!”


And meet “Evolving” Erin:


“I just got into a big fight with my two best friends and they’ve decided to never talk to me again. I have to find a new group of friends and everything. It’s going to be rough, but maybe it’ll be good for me to meet new people. It’d be pretty exciting actually!”


If you’re like Dynamic Dan or Evolving Erin, then an obstacle in life won’t feel like a boulder hit you, but more like a pebble. It’ll surely hurt, but you certainly won’t be down and out from it. Just a quick sting and you keep on walking forward! Apply that to all aspects of your life and you’ll be able to get through anything. We all need to understand that bad stuff happens in life, no matter how good or bad of a person you are.


Quite simply, it’s just life. But what fun would life be if everything was the same and never changing? We’d be going through the same monotonous routines and never getting wiser. We could read or hear bad experiences through others, but that isn’t the same as going through it and feeling it. To feel it, live it, and experience struggles is to set the foundations of becoming a stronger and wiser person. It’s needed to grow. To mature. To pass on your knowledge to those around you. To make yourself happier.


Understand that you have to be ever-changing. Evolve yourself. Be dynamic. Take on every bad (and good) that life throws at you. Make aware that what your life is today can completely change tomorrow. And while there’s no real way to fully prepare for the worse, you can always equip yourself with your own arsenal. Have a strong mind that can overcome anything. Build a strong exterior to shield yourself from the bad the world will throw at you. Develop the confidence in your abilities to jump through the high hurdles in life.


Finally, smile and walk with your head held high showing the world that nothing and nobody can touch your bad ass dynamic self!
