Who Wants to Change? Part 1

We all need help no matter who we are or what we do. Whether you own a business, run a church or are a parent, help is always needed. So we reach out to others that have the expertise that we long to obtain in our most needed areas of life.


Eventually we (Party A) find these wonderful God gifted people to come into our lives to help us bring order to the chaos. They begin to work their magic and give us wonderful ideas that will change the way we've viewed things. We get excited and start making the suggested changes and begin to feel that we are on our way to success.


THEN.....there are those (Party B) that say they are ready for change. They bring gifted people in their lives to help get them to the next level. They begin to get great information that these wise people have to offer. They listen but only apply a few minor changes.


But the difference with Party B is they want to be surrounded with people that can bring change but they want them to do it. They don't actually want to be the ones that have to change. However, the bad thing about this is that their minds are not ready for the accountability of what transpires in order for change to take place. 


Change looks good to them but they really don't want it. They love the idea of it. So they surround themselves with the right people, but then every time they are told what is not working effectively for them, they disagree. They hold on to old and are terrified of the new. 


Some look at change as losing control. But what they don't realize is that what is most feared is the unknown of what the change will bring. What changing shows is that you are not afraid of progression, development and evolving. 


In order to be successful in life you must adapt to change. It is imperative you embrace change. We've always heard that change is inevitable and no matter how much we resist it, IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!


One of my favorite books is, "Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson M.D. It describes the different types of personalities and how they adapt to change. But what we must understand is that even if we start off resistant to it, it is never to late to renew our thinking and adapt to the inevitable.
