Fact is, I wanted things to change, and I said as much. I even pushed for it. But I found out something fundamental: human beings resist anything that feels like it is being forced on them. “In short, a change imposed is a change opposed.”
After plenty “whys?” amidst much heartache, I’m beginning to understand why some things that are “so obvious” seem so hard to change. We must personally see the need for change before we can even start doing anything “concrete” about it.
