Change is A-Comin!

I read a great little post by Lou Ludwig today that got me thinking about the inevitability of change.  So, of course, I had to google about it and I thought I'd share some fun and some serious things I found!

Alaskan Mountains


To share a giggle or two:

"It is not necessary to change.  Survival is not mandatory."  ~W. Edwards Deming

"I put a dollar in one of those change machines.  Nothing changed."  ~George Carlin

"If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change.  If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change."
  ~John A. Simone, Sr.

"There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse!  As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place.
"  ~Washington Irving

Worth further pondering:

"When you are through changing, you are through.
"  ~Bruce Barton

"Change always comes bearing gifts.
"  ~Price Pritchett

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."  ~Victor Frankl

"Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed." 
~Irene Peter

"The circumstances of the world are so variable that an irrevocable purpose or opinion is almost synonymous with a foolish one."  ~William H. Seward

And lastly, some poignant reminders:

"Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.
"  ~Marcel Proust

"Stubbornness does have its helpful features.  You always know what you are going to be thinking tomorrow."  ~Glen Beaman

"If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies."  ~Author Unknown

"The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions."  ~Ellen Glasgow

Cara... what a great collection of quotes on change... thanks for sharing... a nice way to start the day. One of my favorites, and I have a million of them (favorites that is)... We are the people we've been waiting for. (Hopi Indian saying)

great quotes Cara!  I love inspirational / motivational quotes too.  It's an addiction really.  How's this one ... “You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.” -- Jim Rohn

Any of those quotes would've made a single blog.  What inspiration - thank you for all the time you spent on this blog.  Some really great reminders.

Cara  - some very interesting quotes here I especially liked this one

"Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them." 

not to be confused with the images we have of ourselves that we have retained on our various web sites.

This is my change quote. The summers in AZ are hot, but the change that comes in October and lasts until spring makes it worth.
