The Moment of Change is the Only Poem

Published on 31 May 2025 at 23:21

There’s a quiet, undeniable power in the exact moment everything shifts. It might not be dramatic or perfectly timed, but you feel it — a conversation, a decision, a realization that things can’t stay the same. In healthcare, we’re used to managing the day-to-day, sticking to what’s familiar because it feels safe. But the truth is, nothing meaningful happens in comfort zones.

That moment of change, however messy or uncertain, is where the real work begins. It’s the start of new ideas, fresh perspectives, and unexpected possibilities. Sure, it can be overwhelming, and it rarely comes with a neatly wrapped plan. But those small, brave steps forward matter more than we give them credit for.

At OTR, we see this every day — leaders making tough calls, teams rethinking old habits, and organizations choosing progress over perfection. Change isn’t just a strategy; it’s a living, breathing thing. And in those pivotal moments when people decide to do something different, something better, that’s where the poetry of transformation lives.

So if you find yourself standing at the edge of a tough decision or a new beginning, lean in. That moment of change might just be your most meaningful one yet.

 

Because in the end, it's those small, courageous moments that write the story of who we become.
