Change of Direction

I often wonder will life get easier and does a change in direction help expedite this.  Unfortunately I don't know what or how to gauge or measure "Easibility".  If the answers are found in books, or television, or labs at universities, then please point me that direction.  After all if businesses can make a change can't we as citizens. 

Top of mind, I just heard that PayPal had a change of direction.  So much so they dropped WikiLeaks as a client.  Gosh...now that is some serious change.  You don't hear of businesses dropping accounts that give them money or provide a revenue stream to generate money.  http://www.examiner.com/us-headlines-in-national/paypal-drops-online-donations-for-wikileaks  If you don't believe me, then read the story.  PayPal was experiencing pressure from the government.

Thank God I don't have Uncle Sam telling me to change, but I do have my inner self.  My transformation will make me a better friend, daughter, granddaughter, girlfriend, co-worker, and community leader.  Nana Says, "You have to be friend to have a friend.  And in hard times...it's better to have a piece of friend than no friend at all."  WooHoo Nana.  I love the be a friend part.  But not so sure about having a “piece of friend”.  I have discovered that those "piece of friends"… scare me because they don't have my best interests at heart.  Also I have found that the "piece of friends" are only around because of who I am and my ability to push their agendas.  Between you and me....I did a study that took place over the past 8 months.  I laid low, didn't go to as many social events, and didn't serve on boards as I had in the past.  Surprise....Surprise my "piece of friends" decreased.  For real, the “piece of friends” stopping calling, didn't call as much, I all together stopped hearing “Tiff let me pick your brain for a sec”.  A few things could have occurred. 
1.  If I was lucky they moved on. 
2. I started charging for my brain to be picked.
3.  I sent invoices to them before my brain could be picked.

So try to change your direction from time to time to see who approves and disapproves.  Remember we don't need Uncle Sam to tell society who can be your friend or who you are to do business with.   I am sure you can figure it out all by yourself.
