My Changes

3 IMPORTANT Takeaways   Change is emotional. Change is a process. Change comes with surprises.   Today we continue Season 7 of the Cultivation Podcast, talking about my own story with the hopes that you can relate.   I took a hiatus because my family and I navigated some major changes in our lives — we made the massive decision about one year ago to change careers after a decade in the ministry and move from California to Arizona, while my oldest daughter entered college and my youngest entered high school.    I had to go through that process to embrace that change. I wanted to be super intentional about the next season of our lives serving people as life and health coaches to awaken others to their potential.   My wife and I felt called by destiny and wanted to call our own shots. We made this decision to best shape our future and be in control of choices we had relinquished to others.    So, how did I come to this decision? There was a lot of wrestling and dialogue. There wasn't any negative, which made the decisions harder!    I also discovered there is a lot of emotion tied to identity. Navigating change in our lives, we need to own the emotional side of it.   Change is a never-ending process, but I want you to own the process so you can be more efficient and take personal responsibility to lead the change in your life.   For every change, there is a reaction. Even being proactive about the change in your life, some of those reactions are surprises. So, you need to embrace that unscripted part of change.   These surprises can come in the reaction from your family, financial opportunities, and discovering a new community who are going through similar changes. As we embrace the surprises, it won't derail our drive to steer through these changes.   As a result of this change, I can't tell you what it has done to enrich our lives and I want that for you too.
