New vs. Now

Sometimes I write a post and struggle with it all week. I challenge my own statements and thoughts. After my last post, this week was definitely that case.

So, here are some additional thoughts I’ve arrived at this week:

New does not always = change

Sometimes new = status quo

In somewhat of a polemic (my word for the day) graphic, here’s why:

New vs. Now

Basically, we can buy something new or hire someone new, all in order to stay the same. We can make projections into the future, but never enact results to fulfill a vision. Idealism may stifle us from creating anything worthy. Instead of adapting to current needs, we might look for something new to allow us to stay the same. Staying in theory enacts no change. We must live it out.

Ouch. This really hit me where it hurts. I’m really struggling to apply myself to the NOW. But, I’m committed to it and am excited to see the changes that occur.
