Change is life. And life is change.
If we are not changing, then something else is happening in our lives.
Change is not easy. But without change, we are not going to grow.
If you really want to grow, to expand yourself,
then enjoy these three change lessons from Saul Alinsky.
"Change means movement.
"Change means movement. Movement means friction.
Only in the frictionless vacuum, of a nonexistent
abstract world can movement or change occur
without the abrasive friction of conflict."- Saul Alinsky
We need a bridge
"Men don't like to step abruptly out of the security
of familiar experience: they need a bridge to cross
from their own experience to a new day."- Saul Alinsky
We must work together
"Change comes from power, and power comes from organization.
In order to act, people must get together."- Saul Alinsky
Life is a mountain.
To get to the other side, you must climb it.
To get to the top, you must climb it.
Life is a game. To win, you must show up.
To get what you want for yourself, you must do the work.
You must get your hands dirty.
You must stop waiting for someone,
somewhere, to give you the green light.
You must stop waiting for the perfect time to take action.
There is no perfect time to take action.
The best time to take action, to take initiative,
is right now, is today. If not now, when?
You cannot grow if you do not do the work.
You cannot get ahead in your life if you do not take action.
A beautiful plan won't do it. Only action can change things.
When you take action, things will change.
Do not let fear prevent you from taking the right action.
Fear is real, but do not let it stop you from living,
from loving, from growing.
You can win if you do the work.
You can grow if you take action every day,
if you do something new every day.
If you want to grow, consistency is key.
Action is key. And initiative is key.
