Reflection for March 21

Change is certain — progress is not.

—E. H. Carr

Reflection

Progress does not come automatically. Unfortunately,
it requires a willingness to constantly look at ourselves
and then be willing to accept what we find and act
upon it. It is not easy. And sometimes our best efforts
seen to leave us where we are. Change comes far eas-
ier than progress. And sometimes we only realize we
have advanced long after it has occurred. The key is to
stay willing even when we know we don't have the
answers. Keep on truckin'.

Affirmation

We seek progress not perfection and it will only come
in God's time not mine.
