We make a difference by seeing and dancing with it. We can work with a system to achieve our goals, and we can change a system over time.*
Seth Godin
It can be reorganised and restructured to produce different behaviours, but rarely easily or quickly. System transformation is therefore a long and winding journey – not a short or straight-forward project…We combine persevering and resting to ensure that we remain effective and healthy for the journey.**
Adam Kahane
Fables, behaviours, foibles …
Relationships, journeys, finances …
Activity, mundanity, rest …
Errors, failures, prejudices …
Guilt, regrets, dreams …
Plans, disappointments, settlement–
The system that each of us is
never changes in the blink of an eye –
The harder we are on ourselves,
The more we push,
The greater the resistance–
Better to learn our complexity,
To see ourselves clearly
so we can dance awhile.
