To change is normal. To take risks is not. We’ve heard the old saying that nothing is constant except change. Our economy change.... Our clothes change.... Our cars change.... The face of our workforce changes.... Our politics change.... Our philosophies change.... Even our cultures change.
.
Change has become the status quo. Think of that. Change is the only thing that’s the same. That’s normal.
.
But to take risks,... well, that’s... risky.
.
It’s risky to get too enthusiastic about new ideas. Someone has observed: “We have never learned to support the things we support... with the enthusiasm with which we oppose the things we oppose.”
.
What’s normal? The normal reaction to a new idea is to think of reasons it won’t work. But we can’t afford that normal reaction. The greatest risk of all is to take no risks.
.
But risks take courage. It takes courage to think creatively about what if.... It takes courage to break through barriers.
