This business of self-examination about change and our varied levels of
enthusiasm for it makes my stop and think. I, too, have -said- that I
love change, I embrace change, etc.
On reflection, I'm not sure that's quite a complete picture. If the
change does -not- result in my being better able to do something that I
want to do, then I do -not- embrace the change. That is, I don't want
change just for the sake of change, although that may appear to be the
reason on the surface.
I believe that when I do actively seek out change, or embrace it when it
hits me, I don't do that just because it's change. For me, I think that I
can always discover that some sort of dissatisfaction with something led
me to be open to that change. Maybe I wasn't even aware of the latent
unease, but I'm pretty sure it was there.
Returning to the issue of information . . . right! If I am to support any
change, I need to understand how it will help me to achieve something that
I value.
