A Change Is Gonna Come

[J.McMillian]

I love change. I really do. It’s something about tapping into new dimensions that gets me excited. After a certain period of time in the same state I start to get the hebejebees. I believe change keeps me constantly evolving and pressing towards greater marks. I believe when I consistently know where the target is, my aim gets dull after a while because I've just gotten use to where it is. You know what happens when we become so accustomed to our abilities, we take on the “I know I got this” mentality. Actually, it’s a subtle side of pride. But when we are forced to embrace new things, we position ourselves to be developed in a whole new way and that came be exhilarating for us, almost like a breath of fresh air. I always know when I need a change because I feel like I am breathing the same air over and over again.

There is something about embracing new ideas, new challenges, and new experiences – actually it’s a weapon against complacency. Yes, complacency, that sinister foe who loves to keep you tied to the mentality of “I’ve always done it this way.” When that attitude arises in your heart and mind know that it is the enemy and tell it to shut up! Complacency doesn’t want you to arise and seek a better you. If you feel that a change needs to come into your life then here are steps to jumpstart your journey because, a change is gonna come if you desire it.

1. Increase your exposure. We all need to be exposed to new things because when we are exposed to new things we increase our options.

2. The power of great decisions. I’ve come to realize that you are no better than the decisions you’ve made in your life. But don’t fret because it’s never too late to make better decisions. You can change how you live today by making better decisions. Be mindful of your motivation though behind your decisions. This is for women – watch who you allow to influence your decisions.

3. Be transformed in your mind. It all starts in your head, your thoughts have the capacity to direct or derail your whole life.

4. Get the tools to build. We should all have a vision of what we want to accomplish in the natural. Whatever it takes, get the tools you need to build your future.

5. Must receive the grace to finish. There is no glory when we do not finish important assignments in life. Unfinished business breeds more unfinished business.

6. Grace to receive. Finish what you’ve started so that new things will open up for you.

7. Power of a positive confession. There is something about the words of our mouth. When we bring voice to our dreams and visions we start to believe them. Tell people who you are and what you have been created to do.
