In many cases, change is warranted; life is indeed too short to spend time doing something you don’t like with people you don’t trust or respect. But when we make an impulsive change for change’s sake, we can often end up disappointed.
The grass always appears greener on the other side of the fence until we inspect more closely from that side.
A lack of patience changes the outcome.
Many great
projects go through a stage early on where they don't seem very impressive,
even to their creators. You have to push through this stage to reach the great
work that lies beyond.
“What the wise do in the beginning, fools do in the end.”
Doing something because
everyone else is doing the same is never a great justification. We preach that
in Kindergarten classrooms to our kids, but often fail to heed the lesson
ourselves.
Things turn out for the best when we assume positive intent,
keep our cool, and seek to understand and connect.
