Change some basic coping (succeeding) philosophy!
Six keys to winning during change.
Acknowledge that things continually change. Simple and obvious however many will delude themselves into believing life is stable, secure and constant. (Maybe not so much anymore!)
Accept that now is the only time you ever really have and live in the present rather than sitting around relishing the past.
Understand that worrying about the future is useless. If you don’t believe me… what where you worried about on the same day last year?
Realize that the best way to cope with change is to approach it as inevitable and use it as an opportunity to satisfy the priorities and desires we have set and pro-actively seek out opportunities to do so.
Insert yourself in the change process so you can influence to the outcome, don’t wait find out what is going on and get involved.
Commit yourself productively to others who are trying to solve problems or capitalise on new opportunities, associate yourself with those leading the new direction and find a way to help.

Hi
Just wanted to say that I agree with what you said here. My personal experience has been that if you don’t move with the times and deal with change, you get left behind. A classic example of that is when computers were made affordable to everyone and if a person refused the new technology, they soon found themselves behind the eight ball, especially in the business world.
Cheers
