Change is situational. Transition, on the other hand, is psychological. It is not those events, but rather the inner reorientation or self-redefinition that you have to go through in order to incorporate any of those changes into your life. Without a transition, a change is just a rearrangement of the furniture. Unless transition happens, the change won't work, because it doesn't 'take'.

Faith is the soul's adventure.

It is when we are in transition that we are most completely alive.

Nothing so undermines organizational change as the failure to think through the losses people face.

We resist transition not because we can't accept the change, but because we can't accept letting go of that piece of ourselves that we have to give up when and because the situation has changed.

Change is an event but a transition is the process that you go through in response to the change.

Much as we may wish to make a new beginning, some part of us resists doing so as though we were making the first step toward disaster.
