Resistance is normal
and natural. As human beings we are all naturally resistant to change. This is in essence
dictated by evolutionary history. Survival of the species depended upon being able to
quickly scan any change for potential danger so it could be avoided if possible. As a
result we are naturally danger people and when anything new pops into the environment we
look to see how it might be a threat. If we perceive a threat then we avoid (resist) it. Learning to see the opportunity in a threatening or crisis situation is difficult. You may have learned to be more opportunity oriented but at a fundamental level remain a danger person. This is good because when we encounter change we need to always appreciate the possible danger while we still seeking to find the opportunity. |
