Wake Up Everybody

Change is a wonderful thing. I consider myself a Change Agent. As a Life Coach it is my duty to assist and teach clients to embrace change. Change reminds me of a song called, Wake Up Everybody. Remember? It is that old school Harold Melvin & Blue Notes classic. You know the lyrics sing along with me:

Wake up everybody no more sleeping in bed.

No more backward thinking time for thinking ahead.

The world has changed so very much from what it us to be.

Oh my gosh!!! Did you hear that? The first thing we must do to become a change agent is to wake up and stop dreaming about the past. At some point we must put wings to those dreams. Listen to what Paul said about change, "Brethren I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before."

Wow... Remember, the past is in the tomb; tomorrow is in your womb. Oh that's good stuff.... I love what Gandhi said, "You can not change people, you must be the change you want to see in people," I ask you, what changes you need to make in your life? Do you need to change jobs or careers? Maybe you need to change friends. Remember, if you are the smartest one in the group it is time to get a new group. Do you need to change your location or destination? We put so much emphasis on the people, but it has been proven that you must be in the right place at the right time to meet the right people. Oh, that's good stuff.

Maybe you must simply need to change your attitude. Until the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change, a person will never change. Is your current situation painful enough for you to commit to change? There were two contributing factors that caused most of my pain when I lived in poverty. One factor was directly caused the pain of working in poverty. The pain of working in poverty for someone else was the other source of my great anguish. It was the classic double-whammy. The pain of those circumstances caused me to make some decisions that literally changed my life. It goes back to the chorus of the song. Come sing along with me.

The world won't get no better if we just let it be.

The world won't get no better

We gotta change it.

Just you and me.

Whoop there it is. Please don't miss this. Listen! Your world will not get better if you just let it be. Repeat after me. "If it's going to be it's up to me."

You do not need other people's permission to change your life. I would like to share with you a verse of scripture that helped me to wake up and embrace change. "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and the perfect will of God."

I challenge you not conform but to transform your life, your faith and your finances. If you are looking for a coach to hold you accountable for change, contact me at http://www.kenbrowninternational.com
