Negotiating Change - Os Guinness

"Negotiating the changes feels longer and worse than the changes themselves because transition challenges our sense of personal meaning." - Os Guinness (The Call, 2-3)

When we switch from one trajectory to another, it messes with us.  It feels overwhelming.  A bigger picture (bigger purpose) might make it feel less overwhelming.  With a bigger picture the transition seems like an essential part of the bigger project as opposed to a disruption.

"The final aim of life is placed beyond life." - Alexis de Tocqueville (Guinness - The Call, 2-3)
