Is It Time For An Upgrade?

Is It Time For An Upgrade?
So, this week I realized that it was time to upgrade the operating system on my windows mobile phone. It was getting glitchy and needed a “refresh.” Have you ever noticed that nearly every PC seems to get slower and slower over time? The machine starts out lightning quick, but before long, almost without our noticing, the machine begins to lag until we realize it’s time for an upgrade (software or hardware). Well, this happens in life too and sometimes…
We Need An Upgrade
We wake up one day and realize our system is really bogged down. We need a change. The problem is that we really like our system. We’ve gotten used to the way things are going. We really like the way that it looks and feels. Plus, it’s a lot of work to upgrade. And, it’s time consuming. And then, there’s the work it takes to get used to the new. So what ends up happening is that…
We Don’t Want To Upgrade
Because it’s challenging. But the good thing is that the discomfort of the upgrade only lasts for a little while. Before long, we’re enjoying all of the benefits of the new. Think about it, when we first upgraded our Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista, the change was tough at first, but now we’re enjoying all of the improvements of Windows 7. And so, the truth is that…
We Need to Upgrade
Said another way, we need to change. We need to adapt. We need to keep up. Not just with technology but also with our methods and practices of life. In the same way that it would be ridiculous to still be using an old junker PC running Windows 95 (a 15 year old operating system), it is ridiculous to live and act as though it were still 1995. So, much has changed. The truth is that things are changing at lightning speed every where now. Are you keeping up? Are you just slowly rolling through a sub-par life? Is it time to make some changes (upgrades)? It will be uncomfortable at first, but the benefits will be awesome. It’s time to make some big-time decisions that will move you in a positive forward direction. It’s time to do something that will make a difference…in your life and in the community around you. So the question is…
Are You Ready to Upgrade?
It’s your call. What are you going to do? Don’t live a blah life. It’s probably time for an upgrade of some sort, isn’t it? I know I’ve got some planned upgrades. How about you?

Kind of reminds me of this song by Beyonce. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AFbSSjWjh8

Ha ha… thanks for sending me a link that includes the lyrics. Well, I guess, I’m glad it got the wheels turning.
