Finally, one day Haw began laughing at himself. “Haw, haw, look at us. We keep doing the same things over and over again and wonder why things don’t get better. If it wasn’t so ridiculous, it would be even funnier.”
Change happens, whether we like it or not. And whether we want it or not, it remains one of the few constants in life. The hero of the story is often the one who can confront and conquer the change that inevitably challenges the status quo.
And now, on to the caveat: The fact that you succeed against change doesn’t mean that things will return to the way they were before. They seldom ever do. So let’s embrace change and ride the opportunities they present. The possibilities are endless.
And in a fitting end to this post, Haw said, “Sometimes, Hem, things change and they are never the same again. This looks like one of those times. That’s life! Life moves on. And so should we.”
