Maybe a metaphor could help us understand. We may compare change to dance
or music. The question is: can we dance along with it? Is it easy or
difficult for us? Would some help improve our performance? What kind of
help? Are there chances that we will be hurt trying to dance (fall, break
a bone, etc.)? Dancing involves some stress, some people deal very well
with it while others are frustrated. The group's performance improves if
the dancers cooperate. In spite of that, there is a level of competition,
seeking to overcome limits or levels of performance, that may contribute
to overall achievement.
