Change sucks

“Most of us are about as eager to be changed as we were to be born….” – James Baldwin

Change, however it shows up, is a shock to the equilibrium we’ve nurtured.  Many say they want change in their lives, but few are willing to embrace the discomfort and chaos that accompanies it.  Few are willing to get uncomfortable, to get their hands dirty, to move outside their cocoon of safety.

Positive change happens because you embrace the suck, you engage with the efforts required, and you move ahead.  If you don’t want that, you always have the option to stay safe.  Millions do.  They stay secure with predictable, safe, mediocre lives.

But not you.
