Change is required. Change who you are, a mistake

 

Being a few days away from receiving a new year is a good time to reflect on the things that happened to us during these 12 months and define objectives for the following year.

In this context, I began to think of some ideas that I wanted to share.

The human being is biologically predestined to change. Nobody is the same as they were a few days ago, much less a few years ago. We live in permanent change and in these two years that we have had to face the COVID 19 pandemic, the speed of change has increased even more, and it is illusory to think that the “New normal” will be the same as how we lived before the pandemic.

Starting a new job, moving to another country, starting a family, all are important changes that we can face by thinking about the good things that change can bring, but the theory of change management tells us that the perception of loss is always present.

What I want to draw attention to in this case is that in these processes of changes we could lose sight of when we are not only changing our behaviors, but our way of being.

In movies and in real life we ​​have surely listen phrases like

• "Power corrupted him"
• "Before having money, he cared about others"
• "He is not the person I married"

All these phrases reflect something that once it is part of our life should not change and that we can summarize in a single word "Values"

Each person is different, and that does not make us better or worse than others. The theory of relationships awareness of Doctor Elías Porter establishes that the internal motivation of a person does not change unless a very significant event occurs in his life, but even though these events have the strength to change us, the conscious brain continues to be in charge of making decisions and that perception of loss that I mentioned earlier in this case can be positive if it helps us remember those values ​​that should guide our actions and think about what we lose if we put them aside (family, friends, and generally what makes us feel good about ourselves)

I want to wish you all a happy new year and a lot of success in your professional and personal life. I encourage you to set goals for the coming year and the next few years and to think about what new you want to do, what you want to do differently and what you want to stop doing, but at the same time always reflect on the idea with which I started this post. "Changing the things we do is a requirement, but changing who we are (our values) will always be a mistake"

Happy new year 2022

Best wishes to you, and we will continue to share experiences next year.
