Change

I've been thinking a lot about change recently. There were 2 sermons at CBC on change which added to my deliberation. Seems to me that I'm fast approaching a few changes on a few fronts. I'm looking forward to it. I don't know what it entails but I love being on the journey.

I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
(1742 - 1799)

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.

Maya Angelou
US author & poet (1928 - )

Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.

William James
US Pragmatist philosopher & psychologist (1842 - 1910)

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.

King Whitney Jr.

We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us.

Stephen Covey
