:: Change is hard work.

Change is an inevitable part of life; intentional change, or that change won through hard work and perseverance, is something entirely different. There are no quick fixes.

Dreaming of a better life, a better outcome, will not make it so. Nor will half-hearted measures. If you want to create a better reality you will have to work to make it happen.

-J. Keith Hughey, "In Praise of Those Who Choose the Hard Path", found in Monday Morning Musings, July 4, 2005.
