What have we learned here?

What will we do going forward?

Endings

Everything ends badly; otherwise it

wouldn’t end.

~Cocktail

The end of a melody is not its goal.

But, nonetheless, had the melody

not reached its end it would not

have reached its goal either.

~Human, All Too Human

Transitions

TransitionsChange is situational. Transition is

psychological. Changes are driven to

reach a goal, but transitions start with

letting go of what no longer fits the life

stage you are in.

~William Bridges

TransitionsTo become something else, you have

to stop being what you are now… Even

though it sounds backwards, endings

always come first. The first task is to

let go.

~William

Bridges

TransitionsThe process of transformation is

essentially a death and rebirth

process rather than one of mechanical

modification.

~William

Bridges

Just a change?

Days are long…

Everyday life poses demands & I am not

saying that we should ignore those we

do not like. I am saying… Don’t sweat

the small stuff, & most of it is small

stuff.

Habit

HabitCould the young but realize how soon

they will become mere walking bundles

of habits, they would give more heed to

their conduct while in the plastic state.
