Power of Embracing Change

This is an article written by my good friend and chiropractor extraordinaire, David Jockers. As you read it, you will see why I have the greatest respect for him.

Be blessed and we'll meet again tomorrow. Let's make this the year to Change UP!

I love New Year’s Day. I love this time of the year, not for the parties and hoopla, but I love this day for what it represents.  This day represents something incredible that makes up the very fabric of who we are as human beings.

New Year’s Day represents tradition and change.  The ability for us as human beings to embrace and create change in the way we think, act, and live is an extraordinarily powerful tool to living the life of our dreams.

The whole living world depends on change.  This is why we have 4 seasons in the year, why different plants grow at different periods, why fallen leaves thousands of years ago are now oil hidden deep in the earth’s core.  Everything in life has a birth/death/rebirth cycle.

To live is to change.  Our bodies are in a constant and never-ending state of change.  Ever day, 100 billion cells are destroyed and replaced throughout our body.  Our entire physiology is based upon the anticipation of change, and the adaptation process that follows.

If we want to create change in our bodies, to increase our strength and lose weight, we have to train our bodies with the appropriate frequency and intensity.  The same is true for our mind.  Our mind depends on continuous growth enhancing activities in order to mature correctly.

Creating lasting change depends on a level of trust in the process of change.

Belief or Faith:  Most of us live as though we believe the attitudes and actions we have had in the past predict the attitudes and actions we will have in the future.  This is not necessarily so.  We have to strongly believe that we can and will change for the better, and we make this decision at any instant.

As Jesus said, “With the faith of a mustard seed you will move mountains.”

A mustard seed knows why it was created.  It only believes one thing, that it will grow and blossom into a mustard plant.  God sees us as victors of our circumstances, as champions of our endeavors, as his beloved children, royalty and heirs to the throne.  Faith is to see ourselves as He does and act in accordance.

Embrace the changes that are coming and make 2012 the year you overcame the excuses and accomplished the dream in your heart. 

Thanks David!
