The three ways people do change
When it comes to change, I think there are three types of people.
- A small number of people want to enquire more deeply into self-change. These people see that they are responsible for what occurs in the world.
- A greater number want change, but think self-change is a bit wanky or woo-woo. They want to be able to actually get on and do something to change things outside them, in the world. They see change as systemic.
- The third group complain about change being imposed on them. These people often feel 'done to' rather than empowered, victims rather than creators.
Over time people in group 3 may move into group 2 and start doing more constructive things in an attempt to change systems, structures and other people.
But those in group 1 will always be most comfortable and effective with change.
