From the Editor...
If there’s one thing in life that you can
guarantee, apart from death and taxes, of course
- it’s that everything changes.
Human beings don’t like change and we are
programmed to establish routines and systems
that rarely alter - there’s comfort in knowing
what’s around the corner. But there is always a
hidden struggle going on. Evolution is change.
We like to think that we can predict the
weather with some degree of accuracy and often,
this is the case. But there are times when nature
just throws a curveball and whatever we were
expecting is thrown out of the window.
When the ‘Brexit’ fiasco is all done and dusted,
I’m sure that the expected outcome is that we will
remain ‘IN’ and things will continue where we left
off. But the very nature of a referendum means
that the spotlight has been firmly focussed and
for better or worse, change will come. No more
so than if the ultimate outcome is that Britain is
‘OUT’! That would deliver a barrage of changes.
Change can come in all aspects of life and be
for the better or worse (and by degrees). With
change comes fear & uncertainty - fear of the
unknown and uncertainty about how we will deal
with the outcomes.
But if life has taught us anything, it’s that
everything is always alright in the end - as one
door shuts another one opens (place your own
saying here).
Change is nothing to fear - and as long as we
choose to accept and even embrace it, then it will
always be a positive thing.
To improve is to change. To be perfect is to
change often.
Winston Churchill
