Are you willing to start making some changes?
Here in the United States, we are in the Autumn Season. The temperature is starting to change. It’s getting darker earlier.
Today, let’s talk about Change.
Change is good. It happens for a reason. When you feel yourself starting to change, don’t run away from it. Embrace the changes and see what new and exciting experiences it brings to your life.
You’ve heard the expression, “Nothing succeeds like success.” Here’s another: “Nothing changes you like change.” When you are finally ready to claim your freedom, when you’re really ready to stop being a victim and take charge of your life, you are ready to make a change. Change means to take action – not to talk about it, not to give up after an enthusiastic start, not to hold back in fear, but to actually do something.
Making changes helps set you free by opening up many more alternatives and options for you. A person who knows just one way of doing something, just one way of being, is not as free as the person who can choose from many options. Some of the actions you will need to take involve making changes that encourage you to look at additional options.
So many times I see students go to lectures, read books, take classes, and get really excited about some new goal for a change! They do this new thing for a while. They talk about it, and talk about it some more. And then pretty soon, they’re couch potatoes again. They’re in front of the television, staring out of glazed eyes, mouth-watering from watching fast food and beer commercials, and the only action they’re taking is through a traffic jam to the refrigerator instead action for their lives!
Is that you?
Are you willing to start making some changes? Are you willing to take even some small actions to start creating your freedom? Sometimes after students set a goal, they feel they don’t know where to start. When they ask me about it, I tell them to start anywhere…Just start!
The sky’s the limit! You can reach for the stars and even CHANGE your stars, IF you want to.
No matter who you are, no matter where you are, no matter what obstacles and limitations exist around you at this moment, you can change your life, your health, and your state of mind completely. You can decide who you want to become.
