Most Fear It


“Illness strikes men when they are exposed to change.” – Herodutus (Greek historian)

"Change is inevitable. Change is constant." - Benjamin Disraeli

“If you want to make enemies, try to change something.” - Woodrow Wilson

“Change is a complex and labor-intensive process that arouses feelings and emotions.”
– Amy Tan and Dr. Uwe H. Kaufmann

“Advocates for change are greeted with suspicion, anger, resistance, and even sabotage.”
- Vadim Kotelnikov

"The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change...."
- Edward H. Friedman

“Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind.” – King Whitney, Jr.

King Whitney, Jr. tells us change can be viewed from three perspectives:
1. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse.
2. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better.
3. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
