When building a profitable practice, it’s important that after you find your purpose and define your purpose, you must understand that, at some point, you may need to change. Finding your purpose may require a change. People have difficulty accepting change. However, it’s the one aspect of life we know will happen. Change is going to happen whether we like it or not. If you don’t do well with change, you should reverse your aversion to it.

Think of it this way:

Perhaps you haven’t yet found your purpose because you have been resisting change. That is a common infliction with many people. They simply refuse to accept that something different is happening in their lives. The good news is that people adapt with relative ease. After a while, you’ll have no choice but to accept most of the changes that happen in your life.

People close to you will move on one way or another. You will go through stages in life. In the end, you will cherish the memories that you have. There are unintended consequences in most changes that occur for you. For instance, your current boss may leave the company and a new one is going to replace that. You enjoyed working for the old boss and are dreading the new one. He or she could be someone you don’t like. Then again, the situation could now be beneficial to you. Perhaps you and your new boss think more similarly than your old boss.

You’ll need to deal with changes in your personal life too. Your kids are going to move out of your house eventually. You may have to one day take care of your parents, and so on. When you are young and first starting out on your own, you don’t think of these situations. The most significant benefit of any change is that it may be just what is needed to find your purpose. If you are used to the same situation and it doesn’t seem right for you, changes may give you a boost and the desire to find something that is right for you.

You should try to expose yourself to change more often. Some changes you cannot plan. However, there are many that you can. For instance, you can try to take an opposing point of view that you would never dare to in the past. If you favor a political party, speak with people from the opposite party. Try to keep an open mind when doing this. Ask them how they choose that point of view.

By exposing yourself to change, you will become better at accepting it. When this happens, you may be closer to discovering who you are and what your purpose is.
