It’s no secret that nothing stays the same forever. Be ready for
and embrace the possibilities that change can offer. Executive level
thinkers become rich when change presents itself. Those who fear
change usually get left behind. You may need to change jobs to get
to where you want to be even if you have been at the same job for 20
years. You may need to leave the church you have been attending for
ten years because you want to experience exponential growth in spiritual
matters. God forbid, but you may need to divorce your spouse,
as they are an agent of evil in your life. Pushing your older children
out of the nest may be difficult for you and them, but change will
cause them to blossom in their own way and time.
“To everything there is a season, A time for
every purpose under heaven: A time to be born,
And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to
pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time
to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build
up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to
mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away
stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to
embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep,
And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a
time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to
speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time
of war, And a time of peace.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
“Any time there is change, there is opportunity. So it is paramount
that an organization get energized rather than paralyzed.”
