Change Is Beautiful
Embrace The Unknown

 

Change is a certainity of life.  In my experience change is usually hard, or it’s not really a “change”.

I’ve put together a few quotes about change to inspire you today.

He who rejects change is the architect of decay.  The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.  ~Harold Wilson
 
If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.  ~Mary Engelbreit
 
It is not necessary to change.  Survival is not mandatory.  ~W. Edwards Deming  (Thank you, Michelle.)
 
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.  ~Anatole France
 
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.  ~Victor Frankl
 
Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure.  But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it.  Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.  ~Shunryu Suzuki
 
The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.  ~Henry Miller
 
Change is inevitable – except from a vending machine.  ~Robert C. Gallagher

There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse!  As I have often found in travelling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one’s position, and be bruised in a new place.  ~Washington Irving
