Embrace the Tiger How you can be certain in uncertain Times Change and how it’s handled is the biggest barrier to personal success and fulfillment. In fact, over 70 per cent of the people in our country do not know to make change work well in their lives. The procrastination that accompanies resistance to change can harm you irrevocably. It can even kill you. I am not saying what’s wrong with you, rather what do you need to learn to control change? During the terrible fires of 2003 in California, people were begged to leave their homes and rescue themselves. Many of these refuse to leave and stayed home to protect their material possessions. That decision cost some of them their lives. To have people evacuate their homes when hurricanes, floods, even tornadoes threaten is a struggle as well; they have to be forced to leave many times. Some die because they refuse to leave too. This phenomenon is caused by a principle that’s often overlooked and can be the determinant in survival and well being. Simply put, the fear of loss is greater than the love of gain. Las Vegas is another example of this principle. Most people who go to Vegas to gamble set a limit on what they are willing to lose. This means they are going there to keep from losing more than their limit, not to win. That isn’t gambling; it’s a controlled loss. And guess who wins in Vegas? The only constant that we know is change; do this well and you will prosper; do this poorly and you will decay. In this book, I share my secrets with you; secrets gleaned, even wrought, from experience; sometimes at a great cost and much suffering. Mine are discoveries that are presented through stories and examples, analogies and anecdotes, translated into principles within these pages. Mine are discoveries that will work for you ;show you how to overcome resistance to change and make changes a tool for you ; tool to harness the doubts that hold you back and allow you to the confidence needed to drive forward to the prosperity change mastery brings, both professionally and personally. This book will show you how to recognize and accept change and develop a personal strategy that allows you to meet the Tigers of change head-on, and embrace them with an understanding and a plan to make any change work for you; not against you.
