Finding the Joy in Our Calling

CorVive has been in overdrive over the past couple of months as we have celebrated a milestone anniversary, held our most talked about event, and traveled around the world with our incomparable leaders. Given the celebratory spirit over the past couple of months it has really began to solidify CorVive’s place in the world, and we are truly finding the joy in our calling.

Our simple philosophy of love, serve and care is deeply resounding and is instilling a feeling of expediency in all of CorVive’s leaders. These valued partners devote much of their time ensuring that the CorVive message is alive and thriving…and if you ask them it is not work, “it’s a calling.” So many of the wonderful people involved in CorVive feel like the stars have aligned to create an opportunity like no other and we stand with those leaders ready to spread the opportunity!

I find so much inspiration everyday from those leaders that recognize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that they have their hands on and they do not take it for granted. I am reminded of a thought regarding ‘work’ and ‘jobs’…and it goes something like this…the only time you find true meaning in your job is if you are doing something that serves others. You may find a job that is fulfilling to a point, but the one long lasting job that you will never tire of is making a meaningful contribution to someone’s life. The underlying truth in this message is profound.

We should all be finding the joy in our calling…are you finding it in yours?

Change – Jeremy Fouts

Change is constant

As we take the time to acknowledge the world around us, we can clearly see how things have been changing over the past few months. It seems as though 2020 has brought more change than many of us have experienced in a long time. Although these changes can seem intimidating, they will inevitably bring about good outcomes.

One thing I know to be a fact is that change is constant – it is something we can always count on. When faced with change we have two options; see the positive and roll with it or get caught up in the fear and negativity of it all. Oftentimes, I notice individuals tend to deal with the latter.

People tend to look over all the benefits change can bring about. The main benefit being personal growth. Anytime I have dealt with change, big or small, I always notice personal growth. However, the benefits don’t stop here – change also brings about new opportunities, new people, new environments, and fresh perspectives.

Many of us like to try and have everything figured out and be in perfect control of our lives, but the reality of it is, we can’t – no matter how hard we try. Change doesn’t care what our plans are or how in control we wish to be, it’s coming and it’s probably going to be beyond our control. Our mindset and how we view change will determine how we respond to it, and our response will be what makes or breaks us.

A quote I would like to leave you with is by Dan Millman. He said, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” I want to encourage you all to be present, embrace change, and then build upon it.
