This post/episode originally published in September of 2017. The post/show notes are simply copy/pasted from the original post, but the podcast audio is a new take on the same subject.

What kind of person are you when it comes to accepting change?

We Fear Change

Fair enough.

If you’re the kind of person that isn’t a fan of making major changes to your priorities, I have a bit of bad news for you: sometimes you have no choice but to change course.
