Re change being ok if we are in control of it rather than it being forced
on us:
At first this sounds very appealing. But on reflection, do we _ever_ have
that much control really? Even in my own family, I may be the male head,
but in a family of four people, control is not something i possess. My
influence may wax and wane, but control? No. At work, I have a lot of
responsibility, and there is an old saw about no responsibility without
authority. In reality, most responsibility comes without authority.
Without authority, do I have control? No. In fact, it would be dangerous
to my effectiveness to even dream that I had control.
I am not convinced that control is the key to accepting change. Control
does not exist.
