Change
Welcome to our change failure support group. This group will involve shared interactive tasks, eye contact, and being asked to say things. If the idea of this upsets you, please feel free to enter the discarded margin of the laboratory and and engage in some therapeutic scrubbing and sorting.
Failure to change. We’ve all experienced it. We all know it. It’s waiting for most of us, much of the time - a hungry, carnivorous, blunt toothed wolf.
Is there anyone here who always finds change easy and straight forward? This could be changing habits, changing work arrangements, changing appearance, changing environments?
So not one of us, then, dances into their every intention and desire with all the ease of a smug, smiley little fairy? No?
We are, all of us, stricken.
And we can support each other. Let us dwell further...
