“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new” (Dan Millman in Way of the Peaceful Warrior). I don’t know the author or the book, but it felt like a good goal amid the pandemic and protests and war to re-invent our worlds. Not an easy task.
I found this quote in week 13 of the pandemic, and it felt a good match to our efforts to re-arrange the house to be more sustainable for long-term work-from-home. We’ve since re-arranged the house several more times.
Another way of saying this? Go with where things are flowing, not wishing for a time machine to change what has gone before.
