Change In Latitude


"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better." -King Whitney Jr

What happens when you open the door and the whole landscape is different? Are you ready to step through that door of change?

In the book CHANGED LIVES, there is one such man that changed everything.

After ten years as an assistant pastor of a church, I moved to the South American country of Peru. I started my own non-profit organization and began helping others in need. Wow, that was so easy to write; a few keystrokes that contain a major life reroute.

Leaving my old life proved to be a tough assignment. When D-Day arrived I needed some coaxing. There were good friends of mine that gently pried me out of my familiar world.

Those birthing pains continued as I arrived in Lima, Peru on a cold and clammy July night. You must remember that it would be the middle of winter in the southern hemisphere.

A change in latitudes is sometimes what one needs to truly make a difference in their life. When you decide change is needed and you open the door, be ready for the unexpected. And then walk through and embrace all that it has to offer.
