We entered the 21st Century this year - we purchased a point of sale ticketing system! Yep, after 60 years, we finally took the plunge and thanks to a generous donation we now can sell tickets, track donations, send letter and emails easily and seamlessly.
Or so you would think! The one thing we did not even consider was the human being's amazing ability to resist change. It is like an instinct that we cannot shut off. Who knew that something that should be so simple has become so complicated, but we are all creatures of habit. And though the old way was cumbersome and complicated, we were used to it, comfortable with it, we had embraced cumbersome and complicated.
Something so easy is almost too hard to get our heads around. We want to complicate it and that just makes it worse. This too shall pass, but in the meantime, we will continue to repeat to ourselves, "keep it simple, embrace the change," and hopefully we will finally hear our own voice!!!!
Life's Constants: Death, Taxes and Change - and we resist them all!!!!
