First of all, I’ll give you the good news. Any and all of the above situations can spark a change for the better. You may feel devastated when these events happen, but if you approach them with the right frame of mind, you may eventually look back and one day feel very grateful for them. Change is not only good, it’s inevitable. The sooner you realize and accept that, the better. Who am I to say this? Someone who’s reinvented herself professionally several times, and found that the next career revamp was always a good thing.
