A clear sense of purpose and goals provides you with benchmarks for evaluating your responses to change. Prayer and meditation are proactive and positive outlets. Complete one personal growth project each year. Establish a sense of personally moving forward in spite of changes that are outside your control. Research, read, and learn something about your company and industry each day.
Trends are excellent predictors of future change.
Proactive responses to change result from a deeper knowledge and sense of the big picture. Look at your current job as a one year contract.
