The theme song of my senior high school prom was David Bowie's 1971 Hunky Dory album called Changing. Not an easy song to dance to but great lyrics......

Still don't know what I was waiting for, And my time was running wild.
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought Id got it made, It seemed the taste was not so sweet.
So, I turned myself to face me, But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker, I'm much too fast to take that test.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes -(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes - Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - (Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes - Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me, But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size, But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence.
So, the days float through my eyes, But still the days seem the same.
And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds,
Are immune to your consultations, They're quite aware of what theyre going through.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - (Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes - Don' tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - (Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes - Where' your shame,You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me, But you can' trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah,changes are taking the place I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - (Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes - Oh, look out you rock n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - (Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes - Pretty soon now youre gonna get a little older
Time may change me, But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me, But I can't trace time

Life is every changing. Leading our lives and designing our destiny requires stretching and growing beyond where we are today. Who you are right now got you where you are. However, to get to where you want to be, we must all change.

And, yet, the responsibilities of everyday life along with our own negative mental chatter can make moving forward incredibly challenging. All of us, from the aspiring entrepreneur to the most seasoned professional, have mental mind-blocks that keep us from getting out of our comfort-zone no matter how good that we tell ourselves "here" is. Because if you're ever changing, there's always more.

The number one challenge is always having a big enough vision to aspire and grow into which means we much be in a constant state of change. And, yet, I know you have heard that same voice of doubt, fear and disbelief as I have. Fortunatley, it comes from our past programming and perceptions.

The truth is that each one of us is incredibly talented, wonderful, and gifted. However, we can only use these gifts to their fullest if we continue to embrace change.

So, how do we embrace change and move past the negative mental chatter?

Pay attention to Your Mindset, Your Enviornment, and Your Connections.

Your Mindset - Change the station to I.ROCK -Upside Radio! Listen to the sweet hum of all that is going well in your life. If you focus your energy on the doubts, fears, and disbeliefs, it's easy to get stuck. Only by changing what we are feeling can we change what we are doing and being. What are you thinking? Where is your mind focused on? Is it where it should be?

Your Environment - Sometimes the energy around our workspace needs a bit of a shift. Try organizing or rearranging your office. You can add something like flowers or photos that make your environment more joyful or you can get out of the office and work somewhere completely different for the afternoon.

Your Connections - Reach out and touch someone who knows how magnificent you really are. And, make sure you are continually connecting with individuals who are capable and willing to be your upside impact partners. Surround yourself who understand the importance of change and continually challenge you to be more than you ever imagined.
