Sometimes, we want something so bad, but we just don’t do what it takes to get it. 😖 I remember years ago, I met a fellow English teacher at a “Toastmasters” event in Seoul, South Korea, and he told me his story about relocating to a new academy and work environment, and when I asked him why he did that, he explained that he had ‘changed,’ and that the people at the old academy continued to treat him as they had always done. He decided to move to a new work environment where he could be the person he wanted to be, and was becoming. That story made a big impression on me because I was surprised at the effort he took to support establishing a new identity. I admired it too, and that’s along the lines of what Jesus is talking about here. When we want something different, we have to take action. Have you ever desired something, and had to change something about yourself (or your environment) to get it? Let us know in the comments. Tasha~
