Time For a Change

If you have been reading my observations for a while, you may have noticed a change to the appearance of this blog. I felt that it was a little too distracting. So, I have simplified the appearance. I want my ideas to stand out, not the look of the blog.
Similarly, like the appearance of my blog, I often feel that when things are going too fast, or, have slowed down, it may be time for a change, or a shift of focus. This has been at the forefront of my mind as of late. Shortly after moving in to our new home, I started feeling complacent. Over the summer, I had settled into a rut at work, and had spent most of my off time focusing on studies for school.
Now, we are in the fourth quarter and business is booming. Classes are getting more and more exciting, and, I have also, recently, accepted more religious responsibilities. This has been a much needed focus-shift for me.
Like me, many of you may feel the desire for change. Sometimes change is good. Sometimes, even, change can be great. I am not suggesting anything rash, or ill-conceived at all with this statement. I know that change for the sake of change can be harmful. Also, I am not going to waste your time, or mine, with a lot of self-affirmations, and other universal-power mumbo-jumbo. If that is what you seek, there are multitudes of others, who have written a plethora of books and produced countless movies, who will give that to you.
All I can offer is my witness, that, if you take the time to look at your life, with honest eyes, and consider what is best for you, and your family if you have been blessed with one, you will find the change you need. I read, somewhere, we can do, or be, or have anything we want. All we have to do is take the time to look within ourselves, and discover what "it" is. Then, after careful consideration, devote ourselves, entirely, to the achievement of that goal.
Finally, if you seek happiness, I know that I am happiest when I am helping someone else. When others succeed because of something I said or did, I am euphoric. God promises that when you serve another, you are serving Him. It is my hope, and prayer, that we all seek after this type of happiness. For, when we do, our focus will be outward, and our own burdens will be lightened.
