Time Management Equals Self-management
Each day presents us with only 24 hours to sleep, work, perform tasks, socialize or do whatever we plan or perform in that day. Many of us have heard people say "I need more time" or "There are not enough hours in the day!". The truth is there are enough hours in the day to do what we need to do-- for that day. However, time becomes more of a management challenge when we don't plan our day or delegate tasks that others can assist us with.

Embracing The Seasons Of Change
The journey of life presents us with people, and experiences that usher change in our life. Depending on the situation, we can have a negative or positive response. Sometimes people are unaware of the change that is about to occur and don't know how to respond. Other times people anticipate and are aware of the season of change that they are experiencing, but don't manage their reactions, or plan so that they have less stress. We experience change in every aspect of our life -- on our jobs, in our career, at home, at school, the church and in society. Embracing the faces of change means that whether or not we
anticipate the change, or know what "season" we are in, we respond in a way that is healthy and positive.
