“Movement is the door to learning! To live is to move. Life is ever changing, ever shifting and ever demanding teaching us how to move with our challenges, our dreams and our goals. The rapid change in our complex society forces us , both as individuals and as organizations, to constantly confront our ability to relearn. If we are truly to take advantage of the endless choices available, we must be able to alter previously learned behaviors and beliefs which have proven no longer useful.”
