The cry for change often begins in the heart of the inexperienced because their aspiration for the unknown generates a spirit of change. I'm not saying that experience isn't sometimes helpful or important in initiating change.
Think for example,of inventor Thomas Edison,who kept on experimenting past failures and his ingeniously creative mind to ultimately invent the electric light bulb,among many other groundbreaking devices.
However, experience can sometimes undermine your dreams because you may begin to think of what cannot be done,and why.
A lack of experience can allow a person to believe in possibilities without the hindering knowledge of what was possible in the past. In essence he or she has no reference for restriction.
Perhaps this is why, throughout history,change has always been the rite of passage for youth.
No one approaches life without some experience and tradition behind him-unless that person is an infant! rather, change agents blends experience and possibilities into a new experience.
Change ,therefore, may simply be the introduction of an experience that is different from your old one.
Your capacity to learn how to effectively employ new ways of thinking,to use new tools, and to use old tools in a new way will determine whether you will be an initiator of change or a victim of change.
