HERE IS NOT THERE

"Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." - George Bernard Shaw

Here is not there, is a simple statement indicating that there is a clear cut difference between point A, for instance and point B - between your past, present and your future. Between your childhood and adulthood, between your singleness and marriage. The point is, if by any means one happens to lack an understanding of the difference involved, whatever the case may be, then chaos is bound to follow by default. That difference is the underlying change factor. 

So John Kennedy said, "Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."

When the railroads were first introduced to the U.S., some folks feared that they'd be the downfall of the nation! Here's an excerpt from a letter to then President Jackson dated January 31, 1829: As you may know, Mr. President, 'railroad' carriages are pulled at the enormous speed of 15 miles per hour by 'engines' which, in addition to endangering life and limb of passengers, roar and snort their way through the countryside, setting fire to crops, scaring the livestock and frightening women and children. The Almighty certainly never intended that people should travel at such breakneck speed. Martin Van Buren Governor of New York
Some people will change when they see the light, and there is a certain breed who will only change when they feel the heat. Don't make CHANGE an enemy, but a FRIEND. It was Viktor Frankl who said, "When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves." Embrace change today.
