Resisting Change

Change can be a good thing and often is. I love it, personally. But, things can change for the worse, and sometimes smart people know that. C.S. Lewis said


“We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.”


Purposeful change is often a good idea, in my opinion. But change for its own sake is risky, it might be good and it might not. Since stasis is impossible in this universe directing change is necessary. Intelligent people may resist change they see as unwise. We, who embrace change, must also embrace the resistors.


Here is a great article from John Maxwell’s Maximum Impact site: Viva La Resistance.
