Then That's That...

These "Blank on Blank" animated interviews are pretty great. I first saw the Janis Joplin one a few months back and it resonated with me enough to keep coming back to it. I love how simply she breaks down parts of the human condition..."you are what you settle for"...and "if they don't have in them to need more...then that's that." Life isn't always this perpetually difficult equation. Sometimes it's just one plus one.

Every day I deal with people who aren't desperate enough to make change. Oh, they're desperate, just not desperate enough. What's desperate enough? It's different for everyone, and for every situation, but it's exactly as it sounds. If you're desperate enough for change, then you pursue change. That's it. No secrets. Janis doesn't complicate it.
