"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'' asked Alice.
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where - " said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat

Individual Reflection: Business as Usual
To understand how easy it is to fall back into a routine of business as usual, try this kinaesthetic exercise. Fold your hands the ay you normally do. Notice which thumb is on top. Now refold your hands with the opposite thumb on top. How does that feel? Pretty uncomfortable, right? Now go back to the familiar way. Feels pretty good! But which way are you more aware of the position of your fingers? Probably the new way. The old way is business as usual; the new way is your learning edge, the place where you are more conscious, aware, and intentional. Our tendency is to unconsciously return to what is comfortable, but the "discomfort zone" is where we are most alert and focused. Goal-setting requires intentionality and purpose. It is not business as usual; in fact, it is just the opposite - it is business as unusual.
