words to consider as transistion happens

I have a lot of friends who are on the move, toward a new “station” on the journey, for some this has been a long time coming, for others it is almost sudden… These words seem to speak to these friends:

“… when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changing, we are ripe for making a move. The emotions that we feel in response to what we have seen might be volatile during this time, but they serve a good purpose – they give us the energy and resolve to begin preparing to move in a new direction.” (Barton, Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership, p.91)
