In order to change

“Something needs to change,” said me confiding in friends the past few months.

Maybe you’re thinking about a matter of change, too? 

The thing about change is action is needed in a way that’s inconsistent. It’s gotta’ be different from the past… (fill in the blank.) There’ll be a clash with others' expectations of you. Equally significant is the separation of various aspects of your identity. 

Knowing who you are, or want to be, matters. Yet, you must be inconsistent in order to change. You could say “outgrow my previous self and life.” One small, brief, minor inconsistency stacked over time creates incredible change. 

Strategically buckle up and act with intentionality. Create and anticipate inconsistencies in order to change.
