Is it possible to change without having (using) a break? For instance you write a series of articles, day in day out without losing one, you just continue writing about different topics, but with the same mindset.

I just read the outline of an article in the change category about someone who lost someone dear. I ask myself; would it be possible to continue writing if something like that happens to you? If it was possible, it would hardly by ethical, it would be like attending a death ceremony and bringing in a laptop to do some work in a spare moment...

To make a revolution possible you need – according to the saying of Jacinto Benavente – “enlighten people’s minds and fill the hearts with warmth.” A revolution is the summit of change, a massive change but still with the same ingredients as for a “normal” change: feeding both the mind and the heart.

The first process shouldn’t take long to fulfill. An idea could just jump on to you as pictured by Gyro Gearloose in the Donald Duck comic. But a new idea will not automatically change your life or make you move into a new direction. How many good ideas and intentions have not come to life? An idea on itself cannot live, because it will not move people.

Think again about an incident that inhibits you from writing one day, two days, think about people who are depressed and cannot move themselves. Or think about a play you observed at a theatre you were moved by. Or think about the driver’s accident you witnessed from nearby and how it changed your life from that moment onwards.

Change is all but a continuous process, think about it for a moment and then take a real break to undergo the effect.
