Webster defines change this way: to undergo transformation, transition, or substitution.
I'm not sure which is harder to accomplish...recognizing a need for change, or the task of performing the change.
It's easy for us (humans) to see the need for others to change. In a lot of cases we can even map out the course that should be taken in order to see someone else achieve the change we deem necessary! While we urge others to change...we do not always see a need for personal change.
I believe true change is impossible to obtain without fully recognizing the necessity of it. Which leads me to believe that change must start with an honest look at ourselves. The "strengths" we feel like we possess, may in fact be our greatest roadblocks to change.
We must take an honest look at ourselves. What do I need to change? Do I need to break some old habits? Do I need to create some new habits?
One last thought from CS Lewis:
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
