Willingness
- Done, given, accepted, or borne voluntarily or ungrudgingly.
Lao Tzu said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Often, willingness is that step, for without willingness, the journey to something new never begins. And if one simply cannot muster willing, then be willing to be willing. Be willing to be willing to be willing, if you have to. Just be willing. Following are excellent illustrations of people who granted that one single step, and ended up transformed.

Back from a seriously scary health relapse in mid-October and returning to action. Kudos to my patient friends and colleagues, you're the best. New programs and more unrolling this year, here's to 2012!
