Most people are emotionally attached to being the same person year in, year out. I get it. I’ve been there.
But it doesn’t serve you emotionally, relationship-wise, socially or in your career or business.
Doctors’ surgeries see a host of people requesting drugs to alter their moods because they’re unable to cope with change.
Bankruptcy courts deal with the consequences of many business people who didn’t adapt to market forces.

I read an article in the Sydney Morning Herald recently about a woman who said her two-year marriage, which ended 20 years ago, was still the cause of her not having relationships today. This is a classic example of holding your past responsible for everything that happens today and in the future.
