A post, Getting change to stick, at Karen Coomb’s blog, has me thinking about change and growth, but not in an institutional sense, but in more of a personal sense.
I think people can fall into the same trap: we push our envelopes, learning, trying new things, and cannot perceive the subtler changes and growth that occur. It can take hindsight to see what we have learned and how we have developed.
The trick is to keep pushing that envelope, keep trying and learning, and not to lose that long-term perspective that seems to be critical.
