So while opening a new checking account a week or so ago the people at the bank said they were in fact experiencing a change shortage. Now aside from the obvious question—“isn’t money your main product?”—I started imagining why this shortage was real. The best explanations I could come up with were:
- Since people. Are staying at home far more than ever before the amount of loose change that we usually give to people for tips is staying in our pockets. then add that to the fact we aren’t changing our clothes as often so more change has a longer time frame to get shuffled out of our pockets and into our reclinersa and couches along with the stray socks that are left over from the dryer, the coupon for 50% off two car washes, and the back from that little earring—oh and that hair tie you know the one that matches those flip flops.
- Most people just don’t believe in change anymore... even when we used to have it—it just didn’t buy much except for a few minutes of parking and well quite frankly the machines that Artie designed to process change don’t ever work. Let’s face it how many times have you put a dollar in a change machine and while some coins may have. Fallen out—nothing...I mean nothing of importance...ever. Changed.
seriously... maybe it’s time to move to the question—why does it take so long for change to happen when it does?
Well some folks are just fine with the way things are and. Believe the future will be pretty much the same as long as they don’t push for change. well... a lot of these folks really. Hate 2020.
Uncertainty is often sold as failurr and if there is little risk of failure than. There is little hope for change. So in a world of uncertainty and uncertainty being viewed as something to. Fear... there is little doubt that. A lot of people can’t bring themselves to embrace change due to the notion that people want to feel like they have control outcomes when they experience self-directed. Or coincidental universal shifts. In short, uncertainty is not calling for curiosity it is calling for fear and a lot of people are listening. even when we see alight at the end of the tunnel people are shouting “it’s a train.”
Now here’s the magic...
If you apply a bit of curiosity and make a change you eliminate all the uncertain associated with all the choices that you put aside to act in a particular. Way and as uncertainty dwindles the more opportunities to explore without fear materialize. So when you are uncertain —change—it’s a win-win
So in the realm of the completely obvious—today starts a couple days on the relationship between curiosity, fear, and control...
and one thing I can control is my worcount—so this is it for today
