Change comes more from managing the journey than from announcing the destination.
We come to beginnings only at the end.
Genuine beginnings begin within us, even when they are brought to our attention by external opportunities.
Each person’s life is a story that is telling itself in the living.
If the guilt of sin is so great that nothing can satisfy it but the blood of Jesus; and the filth of sin is so great that nothing can fetch out the stain thereof but the blood of Jesus, how great, how heinous, how sinful must the evil of sin be.
Much as we may wish to make a new beginning, some part of us resists doing so as though we were making the first step toward disaster.
Before people can begin something new, they have to end what used to be and unlearn the old way.
We resist transition not because we can’t accept the change, but because we can’t accept letting go of that piece of ourselves that we have to give up when and because the situation has changed.
Nothing so undermines organizational change as the failure to think through the losses people face.
Change is an event but a transition is the process that you go through in response to the change.
All transitions are composed of an ending, a neutral zone and a new beginning.
Faith is the soul’s adventure.
It isn’t the changes that do you in, it’s the transitions.
It is when we are in transition that we are most completely alive.
