I write about change often, weekly at least. I try to reinforce that change takes work and effort and diligence and courage and blood and sweat and tears. Change can feel insignificant or nonexistent because it happens so slowly. But if we look at it from a bigger picture, change has been accomplished. The world is better than it was before. We still have much progress to make, and some existential threats to boot. But virtually no one on this planet believes slavery is okay any more. Education and healthcare for the average person are improving worldwide and inching toward becoming basic, fundamental human rights. A pandemic that has ravaged the globe has killed less than a million people—200 years ago it may have killed half the population. Change is hard and slow and elusive and simply work. Okay, fine. History shows that. So: knowing and accepting this—where are you?
