THE TRUTH ABOUT CHANGE: THE SEEKERS

Change will come, change is inevitable, and change is good. Change will help you move from one point to another - change of levels. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. “Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it. Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” – Joseph Cambell.

Man has within himself all the necessary power to change his life. Our destinies are not cast in stone. The power of free-will is a special privilege granted to us by God. You have the absolute power to change your future!

God has given us power to discover ourselves, our purpose; but how we exercise our free-will to seize the opportunities presented to us, and how we handle tribulations along the way determines the level of seriousness in the pursuit of our purpose in life.

To remain relevant in modern world we must anticipate change and also be a change agent. The story of the Hider and the Seeker validates this truth about life; especially in business breakthrough and strategy:

Once upon a time there were two companies. One was the Hider and one was a Seeker (Hider: represented by a tortoise with his head pulled in. The Seeker: an eagle soaring over head).

The Hider produced only one product, refusing to look into new fields; he relied solely upon the continued success of this single pursuit for his prosperity. The Seeker offered the same product as the Hider. But using his hard-earned profits, he branched out into many other productive areas, constantly seeking innovative ways to grow.

Both prospered for a time, but by and by a change occurred in the market place and suddenly their original product became obsolete. Overnight, the Hider found himself out of business. He retreated into his shell and remains there to this day. Whereas, the Seeker having so many other business interests can still be seen soaring high and wide.

If we want to remain relevant, pursue our purpose and reach our goals; we have to continually stretch ourselves and train our minds to anticipate change and to look outside the box; like the Seeker (The Eagle).

It is true that we are our only problem and our only solution, so we must train our minds to see the opportunities that are always waiting for us. We all aspire to do, be and have great things, yet most of us simply aren't creating the results we want. We complain that we don’t have enough money, resources, education or even people in our lives. We point fingers and blame outside problems that “happen” to us and make life difficult.

But what we need to understand and keep at the forefront of our minds, regardless of personal circumstances, economic climates and access to resources; is that greatness exists in all of us. It is simply up to us to pull it out of ourselves.

How do you recreate the life you have now and build the amazing life you want to have? There are so many considerations, decisions and potential roadblocks; but remember, uncovering your passion and making it real in your life is a process. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” – Eleanor Roosevelt

You are the embodiment of the information you choose to accept and act upon. To change your circumstances you need to change your thinking and subsequent actions. “We are whatever we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is no act but a habit” - Aristotle

Continue to take daily action toward your dream, refining and shifting as you learn new things, more about yourself and dealing with the natural challenges that are inherent in any life change. Keep your vision of a passion-able life in the forefront of your mind, and before you know it, you will wake up one day and realize you are living your dream.
