Too often we believe that if it is not broke, don't fix it. We wait until there is a problem before considering a change. The crisis becomes a stimulus to action. But emotionally healthy individuals change before they have to. The creatively healthy individual is always looking for a better way.
Curious individuals see things others fail to notice.
They pay attention. They recognize that what worked once is often unlikely to work the same way the next time because the context always changes. For those who have not learned to anticipate change, pain serves the purpose of forcing notice. Pain serves a useful function. Although many people who suffer wish they never felt pain, individuals who actually have no sense of pain do very poorly.
