Life, at best is short. Change, is painfully inevitable. These two variables (life and change) are ... constantly on my mind of late.
Let's start with life; make yours count.
It bothers me that any one person can be comfortable living a life of complacency- for at the complacent level, nothing is accomplished. Start doing things that count; things that matter. At the end of your tenure here on earth, do you really want to be that one person that everybody barely remembers? How will you change the world , or better yet your world? Are you impacting the people around you? We keep our circles small, and trust no-one, and focus on ourselves and so we end up lonely introverts. We die lonely introverts.... The sad truth is, we hurt nobody but ourselves by shutting ourselves off from the world. So I implore you, wake up and smell the roses and realize that the world is your playground. The universe is waiting on you to make an impact. And for us Christians, God is waiting on us to get out there on the battlefield. As Christians, we accomplish nothing by sitting back and watching the world decay. Christ lived his ENTIRE life making an impact on every single person he could and as his disciples we ought to mirror that. As Christians we cannot play the lukewarm role. Christ was truly radical, doing things that were totally unexpected and uncustomary and as his disciples we ought to mirror that. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven" Matthew 5:16
Change now is what sucks. Change has the power to totally distort your whole perspective on everything - if you let it. Change can be a hard pill to swallow, but it must occur and so we must handle it well. Life will throw you punches but you. must. keep. fighting. Never give up. Never let 'negative' changes be your victor.
But most importantly, open your eyes. Open your eyes to all the positive changes. Open your eyes to the endless possibilities a change may bring about and grab at those opportunities.
TBH, this post may come off as just rambling, because that's exactly what it is. OR, if you look hard enough you may just get my point: Changes and life are both yours for the taking; take it and own it.
