Change

Change is necessary if we are to ever grow to the height and stature that I believe all of us have been created for.

Is change always comfortable? No. Is change always convenient? No. Is change necessary? Yes.

Why? Because without change we remain stunted and then a most unpleasant thing will start to happen. And what is that? Decay.

For the fact is that if you’re not growing, you’re not flowing and and as a direct result of that you’re not going to fulfil your GREATEST potential.

That is why I constantly surround myself with people who are ‘moving and shaking’. Am I challenged? You bet. Am I stretched? So much so that I think I have started to develop stretch marks. But it’s a good stretch. It’s a necessary stretch. Because at the opposite end of the spectrum, to not stretch is to stagnate.

It is a healthy thing to be stretched, for it is in an atmosphere of growth and of vision that our own vison will be enhanced and clarified. And as we operate in an attitude of giving and service we will find an even greater fulfillment.

And as one entrepreneur once said, ‘I hire people smarter than myself and then take notes furiously.’

So it is by faith that we must plunge ourselves into environments that may at times be daunting. But because we have chosen that path, it won’t be long before we find ourselves surfing on top of the waters that we may just have thought, in that moment where we decided to change, that they were certainly going to drown us.
