I got started on one of my summer work projects this morning - the Leading Change seminar we teach to our board of directors.
Through my readings this morning I came across some interesting and inspiring thoughts on change, and I thought it would be nice to share them.
Change always means giving up something, and the greater the personal sacrifice the more you feel like dragging your feet.
Change usually offers plenty reasons to be upset, worried, and confused. You can laugh at the craziness of it all, or you could choose to cry. Either one would be an understandable emotional reaction to the situation. Crying may be cleansing, but humour is healing. So choose laughter.

"Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted, but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known." Garrison Keillor

When you are the parent of a toilet training infant, "change" takes on a whole new dimension.
Just sayin'.
