Change....I'm learning to let it be for awhile.... 

« The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn – and change. »
-    Carl Rogers

This quote seemed appropriate for this doctoral journey.
 

If there is one thing I have done over the past eighteen months, I have learned.  And, I have learned more about how I learn.  Learning strategies that are useful and appropriate for me are part of my doctoral toolbox.
 

Change, on the other hand, is moving at such a rapid rate that I can barely get a handle on one new event before another one arrives.  Some events are happening so quickly that I am simply sorting them into piles hoping to address them sooner than later.  I am afraid that I am going to turn around one of these days, and my “inbox” of changes will be overflowing, and I will have to sift through them.  I am not so much learning how to change as opposed to learning how to recognize and acknowledge change and how to classify it in one of the “files” of my life. 
 

If I had a loonie for every change that I have made in the past eighteen months, I would be well on my way to paying my next semester’s courses.  However, these loonies would be in neat, separate piles according to the part of my life in which the change took place.
 

Is this how I am learning how to change?  Instead of analyzing change, I am letting it happen, I'm letting it be.  As opposed to overanalyzing the options and scrutinizing the details, I am looking at the change, acknowledging its presence, and moving on.  Is this what this Type A person needed to go through to be more comfortable with change?  I think so.  I have to let it be.

Thanks John, Paul, Ringo, & George.
