“Change Equals Opportunity”
Some people see “change” as a difficult challenge, something that is not worth pursuing, maybe because they have fear(s) of the unknown, or because they have become comfortable with existing conditions. I see “change” as an opportunity, an opportunity for something better. While it is true that change does not ensure a situation will improve, what is guaranteed is that if no change is put in motion then things will remain exactly as they are.

“Don’t Let Yourself Get Too Comfortable”
Comfortable is another word for LAZY!!! Think about what happens when we get comfortable; we stop paying attention to the details, we lose focus, and that is usually when accidents happen. Lest we not confuse comfortable with satisfied, you may be satisfied with the outcome of a particular event/activity, however if you get too comfortable, the desire to improve begins to wane. In the context of improve[ment] I’m referring to anything that advances our overall quality of life, and well being. This would include but is not limited to; our health, relationships, work, and social circle.
