~CHANGE~
The only thing that is certain for us is change.
To battle change is to waste our time; the battle can never be won. To become the willing ally of change is to assure ourselves of life.
{Leo Buscaglia}
Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others. {Braude}
It's the most unhappy
people who most fear change. { McLaughlin}
We cannot change anything until we accept it. {Jung}
He
who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution
which rejects progress is the cemetery. {Harold Wilson}
Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. (O'Conner)
If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. {Mary Engelbreit}
Things do not change: we change {Thoreau}
It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory. {Denning}
I can not change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. {Dean}
There is a certain
relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often
found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's
position, and be bruised in a new place. {Irving}
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows {James 1:17}
hmm...that poses a intellectual question...if we are in the constant state of change...and God is not...Are we continually changing to be closer to God....or further from Him? Or is it our choice? If we have a road to walk upon; predestined, should it not always be toward the "non-changing"? I like that, we are all just moving toward, the stable, the "comfort zone". We are on the quest of the non-changing. And once we find perfection, change is no longer an issue. For, we have reached perfection...and there is no backsliding nor any need to find something that is "better"..... PERFECTION MUST BE PREVALENT IN HEAVEN...... and change in Heaven does not exist?

The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions. {Glasgow}
