![]() The Corpse Reviver #2 – My Current House Cocktail.You Must Fall in Love with your Work – Jiro Ono.Isn’t this site really about positive change, about changing/evolving into a Rock Star?Īnd yes, sometimes Change can be Rapid – although most overnight sensations take years (and that’s not a contradiction). If you are going to become a Rock Star you will need to take control over some of that change. If a band is touring and playing only songs from 20 years ago they are has-beens, NOT Rock Stars.Ĭhange is inevitable, so embrace it, direct it, channel it. Some changes we have control over or at least some control if we pay attention. Some changes are good, some changes not so much. However, compared to a few years ago, I’m very different and so are you. My changes are not as radical as an ardent Catholic friend who got a PhD in Religion, became a Muslim, got another PhD in Philosophy, and now is dressing as a woman and taking female hormones (wonder what his girlfriend thinks of these changes?). Even the most static of us changes a lot (and Rock Stars are not the most static among us). I’m going to be a very different person in a few years as well. ![]() I’m not the person I was two years ago – and neither should you be. I have very old friends I still keep in touch with and see, but we have limited things in common today, far fewer than the past. I’m not saying to jettison family and ignore friends, but as you change so will your colleagues and friends. You’ve changed a lot from when you accumulated old baggage and it is no longer yours it can be jettisoned (thanks to Alan Weiss, Rock Star of Consulting, for this metaphor). I’d like to suggest that the baggage is no longer yours. People talk about getting rid of old baggage that might be slowing down or stymieing themselves from changing or doing what they really want to. Hopefully we are trying to improve, to become better. ![]() Some will certainly be externally driven, especially if we work or live in a rapidly changing field or area. Many of us, whether 16 or 60 or any age, think we are who we are, but that is pretty much NONSENSE. ![]()
