You don’t even want to know how many times I sang the first verse of that song before I got the title right.

Change has been on my mind quite a bit lately.  The Walker and I have been talking about all of the changes we have been through in the last 18 months.  And again, the deals we make with ourselves when a change comes along.

Doing things differently on a new job.  Making new friends in a new location.  Exercising more, eating less and better.  Quitting smoking, quitting or slowing down our drinking.

And the one thing that we always pack, when we are moving from one office to the next, or one house to the next, from one town to the next…without fail we pack it and we never really think about it…is ourselves.  We can never fail to to bring who we are every where we go.

Sounds so simple, and yet it is the most powerful part of us.  You can’t change anything until you change yourself.  The way you think.  The way you act.  The things you say.  The things you believe.  You are the catalyst.  To paraphrase…in each of us is the change we wish to see in the world around us.  No amount of finger pointing, blame laying, or arguing is ever going to change that.

See what I did there?
