CHANGE IS LIFE

Although this may sound paradoxical, change defines life. Life cannot exist without change and in the absence of change there is no life. It is the most constant and most important ingredient of all the components that make up life, and the yardstick by which all life is measured.

We see change occurring in all natural phenomena, beginning at the very moment of inception of life and continuing without interruption to the end. It is the single, most convincing truth that guarantees life into infinity.

In the same manner, change is the most essential element in every aspect of human relationship. As in all life, it keeps relationships going and gives reason for living. In our daily interactions our lives are sustained by the alternating periods of highs and lows we experience, without which it quickly becomes stagnant and withers away.

Change is constantly occurring and its impact on each one of us is determined by the attitude we bring to bear. Many of us are content to passively accept its influence, and like the floating leaf, be carried along life’s journey like so much flotsam. And yet there are others who are intent to impose their own will on their environment and in so doing, modify the changes or impose new ones. That is the true character of a leader.

We are the Change that we seek.
