Change is the nature of human life - every day we change physically, mentally, and emotionally, and so does everyone else. We sometimes have the illusion of stability, its just that the change hasn't been great enough to clearly notice. I believe our challenge is in influencing the direction of our change. For example, we all eat -- and for EVERY piece of food we put in our mouth we have a choice -- many times we make the choice unconsciously-- without an overall guiding mission to choose something we just do whatever we've done. Every little bite is a tiny opportunity to influence our direction in life. The same is true of every habit, activity, friendship, comment, joke, and interaction we have. Each is new and we either make an implicit choice or explicit. We get to follow our vision of our lives when we make those choices explicitly -- by actually choosing how to speak about people, who to engage with, what to eat, whether to walk or drive, and the million other things we each do every day.
