The continuum from Willful to Willing

When it comes to change, there are two possible reactions.

Are you willing to move forward and go with the flow? Or are you stubbornly refusing to accept change and being resistent and willful?
It's not easy to flow with change. Even though we may have been complaining for a long time, say about a job, we don't like it when the supervisor decides to downsize or change the requirements of the job without consulting us first. But by being willful we gain nothing. We are seen as old dogs.
People who are willing to change seem to go further.

Sometimes we don't want to leave familiar things behind. We believe the devil we know is better than the devil we don't know. But if we don't change, how will we know which is really better?

Change may be difficult, but change IS good. We must change or stagnate. Change definitely is better.
