To share a quote: Trouble


NOW IS THE TIME

Trouble. ... Why do we fear it?
Why do we dread ordeal?
Every good thing the human race has experienced was trouble for somebody. ... Then why do we not value trouble as the catalytic agent it is?
Because we do not want to change.
Change shoves us into the new; it makes us hew out a path through an unknown future; it drives us to learn, compels us to stretch our imagination; it whispers, "Let go that old defense; it is no more useful to you now than are bows and arrows to a modern army.
Find a new defense -- one that fits the age you live in, one that will help you without destroying you."
Stretching hurts; learning hurts; hewing out a new path makes minds and bodies sore.
There is never a convenient time to change, to seek the hidden potentialities we possess.
And yet, change is necessary.
--LILLIAN SMITH


Change is inevitable except from a vending machine
