Make things better by making better things.
People don't sit around in a burning building. They act. Some run away. Others grab a hose. A few run in. What we don't do is have a meeting about it—time is short, and decisions must be made now, not later. That's how we move during a crisis.
And that's the problem with change: when we have the luxury of time, we use it. It becomes the crutch we lean on until a decision has to be made.
We don't move because we want to; we move because we have to.
That says a lot about human behavior. It suggests we don't want change unless it is necessary—even if the change is for the better. The hard truth is we are complicit in creating the conditions we say we don't want, because we don't act when the waters are calm—only when the storm is on our doorstep.
