-| Change ... |-

is a word for a journey with stress. You get the journey and you get the stress. At the end, you're a different person. But both elements are part of the deal. There are plenty of journeys that are stress-free. They take you where you expect, with little in the way of surprise or disappointment. You can call that a commute or even a familiar TV show in reruns. And there's plenty of stress that's journey-free. What a waste! We can grow beyond that, achieve more than that and contribute along the way. But to do so, we might need to welcome the stress and the journey too.
