Agents of Change

What causes the addict to smoke their last cigarette? What spurs on a losing team to be victorious? How does an unlikely, unfortunate, or overlooked person end up in greatness?

Seized opportunity and overwhelming desire.

We all have hardship, we all face some form of adversity. From the deepest personal or family struggle to an inability to control your own schedule, finances, or tongue. We all have those recurring themes that keep us awake at night.

How to "fix" it you might ask? The truth is, change is a process and not something to be achieved by word of mouth. But here is the starting line:


Seized Opportunity:
At some place in midst of our plight opportunity arises, and maybe not with the silver lining you would imagine. For the addict that i mentioned earlier, it could be when the drug is out of reach, or the effects of your choices hit close to home.
It's in that moment an overwhelming desire to break free arises, and you must not let it pass.

Overwhelming Desire
You reach the point when you "just can't take it anymore." An unforeseen strength rises. For the losing team it's when they take advantage of the opposing teams mistake, they only have once chance to capitalize, and everyone pulls together to see the victory. It's realizing that things not only should change, but MUST change.

Look to the Bible for a moment to read the story of David & Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. A perfect illustration of seized opportunity and overwhelming desire.

David seized his opportunity with an overwhelming desire to see God's name be revered...a cause worthy of fighting for, a situation where change must intervene.

Wherever you are at today, change is only a choice away. The conditions may never be perfect, but know that it is possible.
