Crossroads of Life

At one of my last motivational seminars, a woman raised her hand and said, "Why can't things just remain the same?" Being a big proponent of change and someone who deals with change better than most, I paused for a moment to think about where this woman was coming from. Was it fear of the unknown or did she love what she did so much that she couldn't bear the thought of changing? All I knew was that this woman was at a crossroad in her life.

We live in a world that is ever changing. People, organizations, and life continues to evolve, presenting us with new paradigms, ideas, and philosophies every day. I once read a postcard that had a quote that captured what I believe about change --"Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become."
