Change is not the goal, it is a continuum of understanding.
You can call it a metric to measure your understanding.
As you grow in understanding (some call it consciousness), change occurs.
People resist change when they perceive change as the goal.
People accept change when they understand the goal.
Too many are skilled at telling and enforcing change.
Too few are good at communicating and inspiring understanding.
It is understanding that determines change, not change that determines understanding.
What helps us grow in understanding?
Paying attention to what the present is nudging you to act upon.
What the future needs, the present presents.
But if we are not paying attention, we lack understanding and focus on change.
If change is the goal, the goal is suffering.
If understanding is the goal, the goal is freedom.
To suffer, we need life and desire.
To be free, we add discipline (learning) and balance (temperance).
