Constant Opportunities, Coping With Change

To understand change and the amount of change that will be ahead, we have to understand the impact of the change that has occurred in the last 100 years with the Industrial Age. If the new Age, the Information Age, is coming upon us quickly we must act quickly and embrace change to prosper from the opportunities.

Yes some of the opportunities have already arrived and some are past, but there are a great many more coming. While change is constant, and change brings opportunity, then opportunity is also constant. To prosper an opportunity is required, so fortunate we are that opportunity is upon us constantly.

Please leave your comments about your thoughts and opportunities that the Industrial Age has brought us. If you can, try to put a year or date when that opportunity was discovered by yourself or people in general. We will see that the opportunities arrive frequently and often. This indicates we should always be hopeful and searching out our own prosperous opportunity that will make your dreams come true! Where ever you are in the world, it is possible!

Realize that some opportunities are a result of previous opportunities and could not have happened unless a previous opportunity occurred.

Here is a list of examples to help get this idea started:
1. Stone Age, not seeing a lot of benefit, but perhaps the hammer. We can finally mold rocks and build something?

2. Agricultural Age (ie: Farming), this freed people so everyone would not have to grow their own food. Some farmers were displaced so they could pursue other opportunities. Were they displaced or did they recognize coming opportunity?

3. Iron Age, well, likely Steel Manufacturing (1800s, I don't remember it well). Which created the possibility for Railroads, Automobiles and other advancements in transportation.

4. Airplanes.

5. Rock N Roll, finally some good music so entertainment could be more enjoyable.

The list of opportunities is endless and will always be endless. The constant is change and the by product is displacement. With each opportunity we see more possibility and efficiency as well as a better lifestyle. It is human nature to progress not digress, so change that is accepted usually brings a better way of life. Be hopeful, share your thoughts and comments and help others cope with change.
