It is an inevitable part of life. We all know change is going to happen. Why not harness the energy of change? Instead of going against it and making it more difficult, why not take advantage of that change and generate power?<\/p>\n<p>Transform the challenge by choosing to respond in productive ways that tap into our capacity for adaptation, innovation, and resilience. When the winds of change blow, doesn\u2019t it make more sense to build windmills instead of building walls?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t resist change; go with the flow. You never see a river going in reverse; in the face of uncertainty, don\u2019t allow fear to settle in. Just keep moving forward with unwavering faith and steadfast commitment, knowing that you will always be guided and anchored in God\u2019s love.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Embrace the winds of change as you learn to turn obstacles into opportunities for growth, improvement, and a deeper connection with God.
