Stop Trying to Discover new Land with Old Maps

After listening attentively this morning in church this morning, I thought about the topic above.  Many times on the road to success, we have old maps, old directions, and old advice.  While this may be beneficial at times, and some of the information might assist…what happens when the new land has been built in the opposite direction?  Change happens…and it happens for a reason.  Sometimes change is positive, sometimes not so positive.  However, either way we much accept it, direct it and move on.  We must find or discover that new map!  As my pastor says, what got you here, will not keep you here. 

Sometimes, during change we keep our “pint size mentalities” because we do not want to face our tigers.  If we do not face our tigers in this new land…we will be eaten.    We limit ourselves out of fear, and that fear travels with us, and we pass it onto others…blocking their path to new creative change as well!

Design or develop your new map…you do not necessarily have to look for one along the way.  Perhaps the one that you find may belong to someone else.  Update, reimagine, think outside of the box, or create a box just for you (if you must have one) reinvent yourself, BUT do something.  This is the only way that you change will come.  F. O.C. U.S. and Remember, Success is Your Destiny!
