The New York Times featured a piece last week about the potential change in the country’s healthcare debate (Link). If you missed President Obama’s recent speech to congress, he essentially explained how health insurance reform could provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance, coverage for those who don’t, and will lower the cost of health care for our families, our businesses, and our government. Have a look. Do you think the tide has changed? Was this a Turning Point in this heavily charged political debate?
Change.
She’s the only thing constant in the world and but yet she’s one of the hardest things to accurately predict or pin down. Let’s take the weather for example. Local weathermen around the world pour over their AccuWeather systems but none of them can issue a customized weather report to help you evade your city’s raindrops. However, to their credit, some are pretty good about seeing patterns and creating heuristics. When we see cumulonimbus clouds early and developing throughout the day, it means there’s a greater chance of severe weather. But until someone develops an iPhone app helps us avoid bad weather, we must focus on how to prepare for Change. So the question isn’t whether or not Change will come but will we be ready to face her when she arrives. Will she catch us slouchin’? Or will we be scrappy and meet her at the door – rain boots on and ready to face the day?
