If one desires a change, one must be that change before that change can take place.

Widen your range

by Ralph Marston

Treasure what you’re familiar with, while staying open to new experiences. Preserve what has value, and adapt to what changes.

The best answer for one day, for a particular situation, may not work so well the next time. Widen your range, expand your options, while staying true to what you know has always sustained you.

Learn to walk the fine and fascinating line between tradition and novelty. You’re strong enough to navigate it and benefit from it.

The end of a custom is not the end of the world. Yet just because something is new doesn’t make it better.

Live each day on its own terms. Make strategic use of your expectations without letting them weigh you down.

As easy and convenient as you might wish it to be, one size does not fit all. Go where life asks and encourages you to go, and do the work to thrive within its widely varying conditions.
