I know I've been slacking on the topic of the day lately - I'm sorry! I know a lot of you really look forward to them, I've just been crazy busy at work lately and I've actually been working. I know, me working at work? It's unheard of, but it's true! I'll try and do better from now on

And now on to Thursdays thinker!

Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.

Herbert Otto

I love the quote. Isn't that what we're all doing here? Experimenting with our own lives?

My interpretation: Change and growth CAN'T take place unless you step outside of your box, take risks, get out of your comfort zone and put yourself FIRST!

I've never heard this quote before, but I like it. I think its true that change and growth can't happen if you don't allow it to. You have to put yourself out there and take the risk that maybe it won't be what you are expecting. I think all change is good. Even if it turns out wrong you've learned from that experience and can move on.

Gosh, I've been stepping out of my box for many years now. It's really scary to step out of the box. But I love being me. Let's do a banana dance! Where are our dancing banana's anyway? They're lost. Oh well, we'll just going to have to do our own little dance.

Or like the Apostle Paul said,

"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." Romans 12:2 New Living Translation
