Evolution - changing the status quo
According to Wikipedia Status quo, is a commonly used form of the original Latin “status quo” - literally “the state in which” - is a Latin term meaning the current or existing state of affairs. To maintain the status quo is to keep the things the way they presently are.
Change in any part of our lives is not always easy. People are generally more comfortable with the status quo - the same old, same old - it’s safe, predictable but quite often stale. There is a subtle resistance to change and although we may not realize it, the status quo can be a resilient enemy - it presents itself day after day in subtle little ways in the form of habit.
The first step to breaking a habit is to admit that it is one and recognize the need to change it. Habits are not easy to change - most don’t go down without a fight. Challenging the status quo requires determination but improvement is always possible.
Being open to and responsive to change is required for personal change as well as organizational change. The awareness of new possibilities can be exhilarating - change is the enabler of growth. Looking for and trying new ways to do things can be one of the most powerful personal skills a person can develop.
