I agreed with the statement, all progress is change but not all change is progress. I equate progress to forward motion and accomplishment, and change to something being a catalyst for it, though forward motion and accomplishment is not necessarily progress in itself. You can change your surroundings, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily equate to progress in your life. Each one in themselves has tangible qualities, but only progress has the positive intangibles of pride and satisfaction. This speaks to why the organizers of the 1933-1934 Chicago\u2019s World Fair likely nicknamed it \u201cA Century of Progress\u201d and not \u201cA Century of Change.\u201d
\nAs I thought about this more, I found these 2 words \u2013 change and progress \u2013 need each other. In order to progress and move forward, you must act, evaluate and most likely change\u00a0something<\/i>\u00a0in order to move forward. Whether it\u2019s where you live, a job, a customer or whatever, many times doing what you did before to get you where you are won\u2019t take you any further. That change doesn\u2019t have to be monumental \u2013 it may just be a tweak \u2013 but something different is often needed.
\nChange in itself is always happening \u2013 whether the weather, people, etc. \u2013 and reacting to that change with appropriate actions \u2013 big or small \u2013 will lead to progress, not the mere change itself.
\nOf course this is how I interpret this statement today. In the future, with whatever happens in my life \u2013 and changes and progresses \u2013 will most likely have an impact on this analysis. It has definitely adjusted my thinking as now I will be looking for progress in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
