The Certainties in Life

There are only a few things that are certain in life. Recently I was having a conversation with some young adults and one of them made the point that the only thing certain in life was death. It got me to thinking whether there is anything else other than death that is certain in life.

Growing old is not a certainty, getting married isn’t either. Having children and a lucrative career are not certainties either. The more thought I gave to it I realized that the one other thing that is certain in life is change. Change is inevitable. The seasons change with no effort on our part. We get older and change from being children to teens to young adults to adults to mature adults. Everything changes, people change, sometimes for good and sometimes the changes aren’t so good. Our desires and taste change as we mature. As long as you live you will experience changes in practically every area of your life.

Change is a sign of progression; if something stays the same it is stagnant. A tree that blooms and never grows from the tiny sprout does not get the opportunity to blossom into its fullness. The same is true for people. We are designed to change, to grow, to evolve into the greatness we are created to be. Whenever you stop growing then you are no longer evolving. Change is a wonderful thing once you learn to embrace it and see that with change comes new opportunities.

The one thing that is certain is life is CHANGE.
