We have been experiencing very challenging economic time for more than a year now. Yet, those of us who understand the twists and turns of the journey of life, we understand that challenges are necessary to give us the opportunity to exercise our spiritual and intellectual muscles, and grow. Yes, challenges can be seen as opportunities to try new things, learn new skills, develop a new business, meet new people, enter a new world. Yes, this time is beckoning us to change. Yet, change is never comfortable or easy. It is much easier to stay in a comfort zone rather than expose self to the rigors that change can sometimes put us through.

 

However, if nothing every changes, then nothing changes. I recall that 15 years ago when I first started writing one of my books, I could not use the internet very well. However, today it would be very difficult for me to  through any project without the use of a computer and the internet. What happened in 15 years? The whole world changed. And although some people have not availed themselves of the opportunity of changing, their lives are still affected by the changes that are constantly happening.

 

So do we to allow changes to slam us and toss us as a small boat upon a very stormy sea? Some of us will and some of us won’t. Some of us are satisfied to complain and fight the waves of change and perhaps drown in the angry waters. Others will ride the sea of change with tenacity and later experience to calmer seas when they ultimately come into view.

 

Success Builders realize the importance of putting the foundation and structures in place that allow them to ride the storms of life and find growth, joy, peace, excitement, empowerment, fulfillment… They know that: “Successful people live in the same world in which unsuccessful people live.” They do not waste time complaining. They adjust their vision and get to work. Ziggy say: "You can complain because roses have thorns or you can rejoice because thorns have roses."

 

The difference in the outcome for each person’s storm is the mindset, skills and resources that they bring to the situation. Our monthly events are for people who understand that they cannot control the storm but they can study it and make the necessary adjustments to have a desirable outcome regardless of how difficult or formidable it is.
