In a recent interview, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Dick Foth to explore the profound topic of navigating life's transitions. What emerged was a deeply insightful conversation about change, perspective, and finding stability in uncertain times.
"All of life is about change," Dr. Foth shared, offering a refreshing perspective that resonates with anyone facing life's unpredictable moments. He eloquently described how transition is not just an occasional event, but a continuous process – even noting that our bodies completely renew themselves every seven years.
The heart of our discussion centered on maintaining a "true north" during challenging seasons. Dr. Foth emphasized the importance of focusing on what we can control –
ourselves – and trusting in something greater than our immediate circumstances.
One of the most powerful moments came when he discussed perspective, sharing his practice of daily gratitude. "I wake up in the morning and say, I'm not in Ukraine. I'm not in Gaza," he explained, reminding us of the privileges we often overlook while navigating our personal challenges.
Drawing from an ancient Hebrew concept of "Ebenezer" – which means "thus far the Lord has helped us" – Dr. Foth offered a profound message of hope. His words serve as a reminder that our past faithfulness can be a beacon of confidence for future transitions.
