CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT. This one-liner has been one of the most quoted ones ever and it's recurring unabated even as we speak now. BUT WHAT IF CHANGE IS INDEED CONSTANT? Those circumstances WHERE you are hoping and nursing hopes for CHANGE to happen BUT it's NOT happening? WHERE ironically, CHANGES is no longer the variable we have always thought of???
LIKE you're hoping to be hired by that government agency BUT until a vacancy happens [as it is that REALITY in government jobs], nothing happens. LIKE you're angling for a promotion to that juicy position in your organization BUT it's NOT shaping up either. LIKE you were already interviewed at the local embassy of either U.S. or Canada for your immigrant application BUT you never heard anything yet [and the truth is, NO WAY is it feasible for you to initiate a follow-through as it will be a futile one❌❌❌
Allow me to share a sampling of my real-life scenarios:
- WHEN I was angling for a promotion - I first upskilled myself. Then I found multiple ways and means to get noticed. LIKE volunteering for a task WHERE there are NO takers. LIKE during open forums, asking the most sensible and deep-thought questions. LIKE during presentations, you have to host it with a jaw-dropping performance
- WHEN I was aiming to migrate then [as an immigrant and NOT an overseas worker], I remained steadfast in doing WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE until I was bestowed my naturalized citizenship
Our takeaway: WHETHER every single variable in life is indeed a variable OR it gets stuck up and stalled [way beyond our control], it behooves that we have a Plan A, Plan B and preferably a Plan C because the mother of all ironies in life is that, besides all the UNKNOWN variables we are unable to anticipate, even those literal CONSTANTs can be impactful as well. WHAT IF CHANGE IS CONSTANT???
