How to Embrace Medium’s New Changes Rather Than Fearing Them
You have two options: adapt or die.
This morning, Medium announced big changes they’ll be making to their Medium Partnership Program starting next week.
I felt the same excitement I did when I first started writing on this platform, but there was a side of me that was resisting and dreading the new changes.
However, I’ve learned to deal with change, so that only lasted a moment. The excitement completely drowned out the discomfort, and I’m looking forward to October 28th.
I won’t go over what the changes are because I know you know what they are, but such big changes are making some people uncomfortable because they’re not used to change or don’t like it.
Perhaps you’re not good with change, and you feel nervous about what’s coming rather than hopeful.
The biggest problem with resisting change is the pessimism that results. It might be really easy to attack Medium, complain, and already proclaim your earnings will decrease.
When your comfort zone is attacked, all you want to do is attack back. Change is scary, and it makes you want to protect your safe zone with all you have.
