Blessing or a Curse

In this economy there could be a situation where you are asked to do something completely new to keep your employment with a company. On the surface the new role could look like a demotion or something so far outside your comfort zone that the aversion to embrace becomes very strong.

If you can step far enough away to get objective in your perspective you need to ask yourself:

"Is this situation a blessing or a curse?"

I believe that the way you frame an event up in your mind creates the paradigm that you can use to deal with it. I am not suggesting that you step out or reality, this is a suggestion that if you take a moment to embrace the change on a different level you may find that the event looked at from a different angle may point you on a new path.

Forced into a new role at your business? Look for the new skill you will learn.
Uncomfortable with a new task because it is new? Read up on embracing change in your life
Disappointed that you are not promoted but demoted? Look into expanding your education and earn a new skill.
Feeling like life is throwing you nothing but curve balls? Look into making a life change with the support of a counselor.

In any situation we can ask the question about blessing or curse. Others may want to define this for you and tell you how Bad or Good an event in your life is. Only you can truly define and walk through this event with the perspective you choose. Either way events like job change are going to happen. What will you do with it?
