Ironically, change is the only thing that remains constant in our lives. For example, young adults experience a lot of change once they graduate from high school. Some move to different states or countries to attend college, where they live with people they’ve never met before and take classes that are more difficult than they’ve experienced thus far. This kind of growth can often be overwhelming and intimidating, to say the least.
However, change is a powerful force for good in our lives. It gives us opportunities to progress and create the future we desire for ourselves. One featured talk in this collection reminds us that if we are in a situation we don’t like, we always have the power to make a difference. This talk reminds us that with God on our side, we are empowered to fulfill our dreams and reach our goals. God will help us as we make the changes necessary to do so.
Oftentimes, God asks us to make changes in our actions and our mindset in order for our will to align more perfectly with His. The changes He asks us to make can often be difficult, and it can be challenging to find the faith to act on those directions. When we pray about the decisions we are making and trust that God knows what is in store for us, we can have the confidence to go through with change that may be initially uncomfortable.
Because change is so prevalent in life, it is a subject many speakers at BYU deem worthy of discussion. Our collection of talks is full of advice to help people from all walks of life experience change in a healthy way. These speakers encourage us to take control of our lives and allow the changes we experience to work together for our good.
