Change comes from within

I read this quote the other day: “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” – Viktor Frankl.

 

It sparked some reflection, especially since life often presents challenges we can’t control. One powerful approach I’ve read that helps me is to reframe these challenges as opportunities to adapt and learn. While it’s not always easy, it does shift the focus from frustration to progress.

 

Change, in my opinion, isn’t about striving for perfection—it’s about making progress. By choosing to grow, you realize that it’s not the change itself that defines you, but how you respond to it.

The only thing constant IS change! Good stuff Mitch!

A fitting post that brings solace to my weekend! I can relate since this past week I've endured a challenge and faced changes that made me adapt. As you noted, it starts with reflecting on what we can and can not control. As a project manager, I always need to be in control of my job sites, but the same does not happen in my personal life. Thanks for sharing this viewpoint to best turn theses scenarios into a life lesson.
