Change

There is so much talk of change right now in our country. Everybody is talking about the need for change. Change our gas prices, change the housing market, change the economy, change the White House and on and on. John McCain and Barack Obama both say that they are the answer.
It's interesting to me to see that most people want change but are looking in all the wrong places for it. We want someone else to come in and fix our problems for us. It's easier that way. If I can point a finger of blame, I am not responsible for my situation. It's either the government's fault, big oil company's fault, my boss's fault, even God's fault.
The big question is this. At what point do i accept responsibility for my own life? My own actions? My own decisions? I am persuaded that we will see real, lasting change in America when we, as a nation, take responsibility for our lives. This is the greatest country on Earth. We are blessed with more opportunities than any other country of the world.
Change. We all want it. Do we want to pay the price for it? The truth is, we can't stop it. The only thing that doesn't change is the fact that things are going to change!! We will fall into 3 categories of people. Those who make things happen. Those whom things happen to, and those who ask, "What just happened?".
