Are You Ready For Change

The one thing that makes it easy to encourage and motivate people is working with those that are open and willing to change. 

Are you used to doing the same thing every single day? We know what our weekdays and week ends will consist of because we never change. We create a life that becomes comfortable, which turns to complacency, if we are not open to some changes. It is easy to cultivate an unconcerned attitude in life and not move forward. 

The danger with being complacent is that it numbs you of the reality of growth (or lack of). It gives the illusion that what you have now is good enough. But it's not good enough. We were created to grow, mature and evolve into something great that would help enrich others. But the only way for these things to materialize is to embrace change.

Could you imagine God only doing the first day of creation over and over again and never moving to the other days? Just think of all the other great manifestation we would miss out on if God did not continue to speak and do something new day after day.

He set the example for us in the beginning showing the importance of moving forward and reaching (or speaking) change around us. When we become idle, it alters our perception and attitude in a negative way. We act out and affect others around us, because in retrospect we are inwardly miserable because we have stopped the natural flow of our own development.

More over, there is a need for change. Change is the conversion of old to new, non existent to living; a dream to reality. It is the very essence of our being and the nature of which we were created. There is no progress with out change.

Don't get comfortable in your present. Instead, think of new ways that can help you grow as an artist, minister, mother or friend, etc. Allow yourself to do things you would not normally do. Keep in mind that you were meant to evolve in every way. Unlock the gifts inside of you and allow them to stretch you in ways that may seem uncomfortable at first..... but in the end it will be a great reward.
