Making things happen

It's not an exceptional that when all the elements are aligned for a decision and a move in a positive direction, nothing still happens. Wheels are stuck in place and for some mysterious reasons, the “nudge” that seems needed to get the entire convoy in motion is not applied. Why is that? In my view simply because we hate making decisions that translate into commitment, change and call for some upheaval in our well-ordered lives.

Now, how and where do we apply that force that precisely will set the desired events in motion? I guess it's about getting to even more enlightened people and show them how deceptively simple it would be to tilt the whole process into action, or perhaps provoke something unexpected, uncalled for, and even out of the rule-book to trigger the desired effect. I guess it's a bit like when you try to get a mechanical part unstuck, move a recalcitrant boulder or unclog a stubborn drain. You just need to work from different angles, find some catalyst and most often than not, labor at it a while longer...
