I think all significant positive change requires two things: imagination and practicality. A person with only the former can imagine the world they want, but lacks the ability to bring it about. A person with only the latter can make the best of their lot in life, but has mentally foreclosed the ability to change that lot in life no matter how bad things get. A person with both can imagine the world they want and work on mapping out the path to reach it.

Which is to say, I think it is critically important for us to strive to develop both of these traits in ourselves.

Me: It's amazing how much about me hasn't seemed to change after all these years of life.

Also me: Those statements don't reflect who I am now.  I said that five minutes ago.

Ramble-tags: perhaps a slight exaggeration, but I do often grapple with the question, of how much I've changed as a person, versus how much has remained constant, and this seemingly simple question, seems to have a surprisingly elusive answer, am I a person who is essentially the same person I was as a child?, Or am I a person in constant flux who has changed dramatically over the course of my life, it really just depends, on how I look at it, I suppose
