Are You Cool Like That? (revised)


Are you cool, calm and comfortable the way you are? Then don’t expect things to change. Yes, if you like things the way they are, you have permitted them to stay the way they are. Change begins with a desperation for change; a dissatisfaction with the status quo. This is true in business, family, social and spiritual life.

What you don't desire, you don't deserve. But true desire only comes from awareness of the difference between the way things are and the way they could be. Ask yourself, is this the best things can be? How can they be better? This will ignite your mind towards creative ways to break free.

No matter how successful you are or how far from success you may be, there is another level. All you are is all you have become but all you have become is not all there is to be. You may have tried and failed and tried and failed and now you just want to throw in the towel and quit trying. Be encouraged and keep moving; as long as you still have breathe, anything can happen. "It's not over until it's over", someone said

How desperate for change are you? What sacrifices are you making or willing to make for the change you want to see in your life? If you do not get up from here you will not get down there. You must arise to arrive.

Remember, no one makes progress in a state of rest. We make progress only in motion and the energy to be in motion is derived from intense desire to breakthrough. You will find it if you search for it with all your heart. True, you will come across dark spots, stumps and discouraging moments, don’t give up. Keep moving and keep re-fueling your desire by keeping the picture of your destination in mind.

If you can see it within, you will have the strength to pursue it. If you pursue it hard enough, you will eventually possess it. And don’t forget, the difference between a wish and a desire is active pursuit. Pursuit is the proof of desire. Arise from your rest and pursue that dream. You will succeed!

‘...Why should we sit here waiting to die” 2Kings 7:3 (New Living Translation)
