We are most likely to change when:

• There is a problem…
• That we care too much about to just tolerate…
• That we can’t get away from…
• And is challenging but not overwhelming.

These “optimal” conditions remind me of some of life’s most difficult and painful circumstances. Apparently optimal change comes through experiences that feel extremely sub-optimal.

If you want to change, reach out for the resources you need, then face into the difficulty as honestly as you can.
