Change is Not Always the Bad Guy

When clouds roll in and thunder is heard in the distance, it is an indication of change in weather patterns. Just as with weather, change can be indicators of storms presenting unexpected and chaotic measures. These changes can bring uncertainty, conflict, and confusion. Is change a bad thing? At the time change may not appear as a good thing but the end result from change may not be a bad thing.

I believe change partners with chaos to alter an environment into a new level and create a platform of stability that can lead into the next change event. You may ask how that can be. Examine the possibility of how change pulls the future into the present. Example, if you are walking into your kitchen and want light, you flip the switch. Before you flipped the switch, there was darkness; unable to see what you were looking for. Once you flipped the switch, all that was ‘in front of you’ became manifested because of light. Remember my statement of creating a platform of stability? In order to ‘enlighten’ your environment, there had to be a change in the environment, flipping the switch. Walking into a dark room with no light could cause harm and delay the purpose of going into the kitchen.

Chaos creates a sense of ‘blind future’ by taking away the evidence or expectation of future plans. Your intention of going into the kitchen was to serve a particular purpose. When the light switch was flipped, the future became present. What was before you or the future of your intention was unseen, invisible to the eye because of the darkness. This may be a simple demonstration of change and chaos but the bottom line is chaos and changes are part of every day life.

Change and Chaos Process

Change and chaos are factors that are not necessarily bad, but are needed to step out into the future. Chaos and change cause discomfort. In many ways change becomes the beneficiary to the process of change. Take for example the affects of change in the lives of people. I believe people resort to elements that they believe will help them forget about the chaos that brought about change, seek other alternatives that bring comfort; avoiding the consequences as a result of change. Change is not always easy to accept. I believe there is an exchange assimilated from change that ironically unites chaos, change, and stability, which I call ‘static’. This static is similar to static electricity as when you take clothes from the clothes dryer and separate them, causing a static shock. This assimilation is similar to static shock that is brought on by the change of separating the two items, which where united in the tumbling process and then separated when taken out of the dry to be placed in its destination of purpose. When separated from bondage as a result of the drying process, change occurs that causes static; chaos. Regardless of the conflict as a result of change, the end result can be advantageous once chaos assimilates into stability.

Change creates a ‘blind future’ as a result of the chaos of change. The elements affected by change become unstable; unpredictable, somewhat unreliable. Until the elements affected by change become visible or stable, chaos will dominate and justify a ‘blind future’. Would you agree with me that change is natural? Change occurs daily with or without our permission. Times change, seasons change, change occurs physiologically, emotionally, and spiritually. If we can have a greater understanding of change and understand how to accept the chaos of change, change could be more tolerable, more acceptable in its impact.

I believe key points to remember when confronting change and chaos are:
• Chaos brings conversion.
• Chaos is the precursor to stability.
• Change pulls the future into the present.
• Chaos presents a sense of ‘blind future.’
• Change is uncomfortable and yet internally anticipated.
• Change is constant.
• Change puts us in the valley of decision-making processes.
• Change causes a different perspective of life.
• Change creates choice-driven alternatives.

In conclusion, change is like a kaleidoscope. The moment the scope turns, change occurs. The difference is the space between changes brings about a new beauty, transforming/changing a plain design from within the scope. It is the perspectives that are applied that create the beauty of change. Can lives become adaptable to change? Yes. As a butterfly experiences the metamorphosis of change in the cocoon, intended design is fulfilled. Each change experience is similar to a metamorphosis of life. The decision to accept change is entirely up to you. Gifts and talents are ingrained in your spirit according to God’s Word. Change transforms the ordinary into a beautiful kaleidoscope of change. The key is realizing that Change is not the bad guy after all. Change is the paradigm that will redefine a changed perspective. As an agent of change, you are creating history. From the beginning of time, humanity has changed; many times voluntarily and involuntarily. In spite of the decision, change still occurred. Chaos caused change and change bought order. The cycle is ongoing but in an upward spiral trend. The past 20 years has proven that businesses, global environments, and people are part of the upward spiraling change affect that is evident in the world today. Change is not just confined to business; life in general is a change agent, seeking for answers that only change can initiate, instigate, and cause to participate. So the next time you encounter change, realize you are calling the future to become your present; changing the present to fulfill tomorrow.
