Discontent is the first step in progress. No one knows what is in him till he tries, and many would never try if they were not forced to.- Basil W. Maturin If you are discontent in life maybe a change is in order. Life is about change. From the time you pop out of your mother's womb change is the key to success. Unless an infant changes from the umbilical cord to the mother's milk the baby will not live. Once the first breathe is taken humans must learn to change. I like what Basil W. Maturin said, Discontent is the first step in progress." Why change is your are happy with the circumstances you find yourself. Unless a person is pressured by some painful experiences many will never change. Years ago there was a cigarette commercial, can't remember the brand but the slogan said, "I'd rather fight than switch." Many people would rather die than stop some type of harmful behavior, like alcoholism or drug addition. Yet, there are those who decided, because of problems to make the change to a sober way of living. You may be faced with an area of your life which needs to be changed. You are extremely disturbed by this situation but you have not found the courage to change. Basil said, "No one knows what is in him till he tries." Let me encourage you to at least try to change. If you know this "thing" is not right for you then at least make an effort to change the situation. You might be surprised at how easy it will actually be once you start the process. Remember, with God all things are possible. Why don't you ask God for help in making the effort. I promise He wants to help and will help if you ask Him. Discontent - More Meditations
