I think that the reason for change has to be larger than the obstacles to be overcome.
Not having an overarching reason sets people up for failure and people are REALLY averse to gasp, failing.
It's the fear of failure that often prevents people from attempting to change.
And many, if they do try, have a pre-conceived resignation to failure that limits their attempts to half-hearted efforts, at best.
Never failing means you've never tried and I pity the poor souls who have succeeded on every first attempt in their lives, they're heading for a big fall.
I'm not such a big fan of Thomas Edison but I can still like some of his work.
I have gotten lots of results!
I know several thousand things that won’t work!
