“Change means movement. Movement means friction.”

Saul Alinsky

We spend so much of our lives trying to reduce friction and minimize the impact of change on our lives. But, by doing this, are we also taking away the opportunity to embrace change? 

We often see discord as a bad thing; however, friction polishes the rock into a gemstone, and friction can spur creative thinking and instill action and urgency.  

Where is the positive conflict in your life? What is happening that indicates change, growth, an opportunity to do and be more than you’ve ever thought possible? Who are those people that are positive catalysts for change and movement?

Friction isn’t harmful if you are moving and growing and changing.  

Embrace it. 

Learn from it. 

Seek more of it.
