You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

I’m obsessed with making omelettes.

Mainly because I love eggs, in all varieties and forms, but also because cooking eggs is an art form.  I’ve learned that a mere three degrees can mean the difference between an amazing egg, and just an “ok” egg.  Think about it, an egg can be fried, poached, boiled twenty different ways, pickled, scrambled….learning how to cook eggs will make you a better cook, I promise.

But omelettes require a little more precision, and technique.  Done correctly, they are light, fluffy, delicious, and nice to look at too.  The French omelet is my favorite to make because it’s simple, elegant, and tasty.

I am trying to perfect my omelette making, and have to admit, it takes some practice.  This week, as I was making myself a French omelette, the expression came to mind, “You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.”  Pardon the pun….

We’ve all heard the expression, and we all agree that achieving something meaningful usually takes some legitimate effort.  That’s the message I want to leave with you today.

What reward is waiting on the other side of change?  What outcome is worth enduring some disruption?  Has the pain of staying the same overcome the pain of change yet?

I believe that the opportunity that exists on the other side of change and disruption is worth it.  I believe the work that is required to lower healthcare costs and improve benefit plans is well worth it.  I hope you do too.
