Chapter 1:
Our Understanding of Change
C
hange, in its simplest form, is the act of moving
from a current state, through a transitional state,
to a future state. Change is the universal process
supporting you and me to move from yesterday to today
to tomorrow. On the surface it sounds simple; however,
it is not easy. It is pervasive, permeates every area of our
life, and creates stress for a great majority of us. We
are literally always in a state of change! Because it’s so
constant and all-encompassing, we become oblivious to
it—much like we forget about breathing or blinking our
eyes. It is only when our breathing is labored or our eyes
are dry that we begin to take notice. Only when change
challenges us and we fight the challenge do we begin to
take notice.
