THE NECESSITY OF CHANGE
And the day came when the risk it took to remain

CHANGE VS. TRANSITION

• Change is a one-time occurrence we change jobs,
  change clothes, change living arrangements.
  Change is a shift from one person, place or thing
  to another.
• Transition is the ongoing process of dealing with
  a change. Transition is letting go of how things
  were and embracing how things might become.
