More on the path of change
“Change is never linear.” Paul Saffo forecaster and essayist
We may wish change took place – one step at a time in perfect sequence.
For if change was linear we could…
- make a plan
-manage change
-take control…and not have any surprises.
Why don’t we welcome surprises? Maybe because at first they throw us off balance - disrupting our well-thought out plans and robbing us of our perceived control of our lives.
Of course we have some control over our lives…and making plans for our futures is important. But…our plans will work better if they are flexible—allowing room for the unexpected.
So, as you continue to think about what you hope to have happen in 2008, remember to leave space for the unplanned happenings. You will be glad that you did.
