Quote #1246 - #RearrangetoChange

13 Jul, 2026

REARRANGE TO CHANGE


"Culture does not change because we desire to change it. Culture changes when the organization is transformed."
Frances Hesselbein

"A plan is what, a schedule is when. It takes both a plan and a schedule to get things done."
Peter Turla

"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind.... it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better."
King Whitney Jr.


When summer days feel like a morass of heat and humidity
and inaction
and you need incentive, inspiration,
here's a thought:
a choice, a decision, a plan
a schedule
can shift everything.

Rearranging a room can be
easier than cleaning the room, you know?
And when you're done,
the room is clean.

Also true of organizations,
individuals,
spaces, places,
objectives,
goals.

So make a choice about what is next,
make a plan, a schedule to see it through.
See what it does to your insides,
to your motivation, your desire.

It's a choice to shift the internal mechanisms,
a plan for accomplishment,
a schedule for change,
a welcome challenge to see it through.
