Life is about change. Change can be good or bad depending on how you look at it AND what you do with it. You see, if you sit and wait for the world to change around you, you may not be happy with the results. However, if you cultivate and manifest change in your life you'll find you are much happier with the results.
Perception is reality; therefore, if you perceive change as bad, it will be bad, guaranteed. Unfortunately change can appear bad at times even when its good in the end. Sometimes it just isn't what we WANT, but its likely to be exactly what we need. Of course more often than not, we can't see what it is we need because what we want is standing in the way.
If we can open our heart and mind to embrace change when it comes, we may find that change shows up just in time. Many times it shows up in a completely different way than we think it will or should, but it does show up.
The key to handling change is accepting whatever comes your way as what needs to be happening at this place and time in your life. I know this sounds like over-simplifying, but it isn't at all. Unless its something you could have prevented, change comes whether you want it to or not.
Openness and acceptance will allow change into your life with minimal impact. Resistance is the number one reason why change is so difficult for some people and easy for others. Those who accept it for what it is rather than turn it into a dramatic or traumatic experience, find change sweeps through quickly and with little long-term damage, most of the time. Those who resist find that change takes longer to occur and causes more distress and disruptions because it simply isn't being allowed to happen naturally. We create the distress and drama/trauma because we refuse to accept change as a natural occurrence in life, instead pushing, shoving and trying t o control the inevitable. In the end, change wins and occurs in everyones lives. The difference is in how you respond or react to it.
There is, however, a certain amount of control you can have when it comes to change in your life. Please do not take what I'm about to say as me stating that you can control ALL the change in your life. You CANNOT! But you can control some of the changes coming your way with your attitude and thoughts.
