This morning I was running some errands and the thought crossed my mind... "So many people are back to work today, back on the grind." That's life right, not every day is a Holiday.
That statement is true, but how many people don't want to be back on the grind? I mean, they don't mind hard work, but what they are currently doing isn't working. They are grinding day in and day out and nothing is getting better. They are broke, overweight, angry, having trouble being the parents they want to be, etc.
The little voice in their head is saying "There has to be more to life than this. I know I am made for more than my current situation reflects."
If you are one of those people, then I want to share a piece of advice that is so simple, yet so profound.
Get ready for it...
IF NOTHING CHANGES, THEN NOTHING CHANGES.
You see, if you keep doing what you have always done, then you'll keep getting the same results that you have always gotten. If anything is going to be different, changes have to be made (great time to insert some Sam Cooke A Change is Gonna Come ).
So, as you reflect upon your year and maybe make some New Years Resolutions, think about this... "Am I really willing to make the necessary changes that need to be made to become who I want to be in this life?" If the answer is yes, then Go for it! Don't just talk about it either, truly be about it. Write down your goals, write down the steps necessary to reach your goals. Reach out for help and let others guide you in the areas where you need to change. Make up your mind that this is gonna happen, it's your time for positive change!
That being said, you need to know this... Change takes courage. Fear will rear it's ugly head and try it's best to keep you from making changes that lead to a better you. Don't listen to fear today! Take the advice of Nelson Mandela when he said the following " I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers fear."
Let me encourage you to overcome fear and go after your goals. Step up and decide that you will change for the better, Starting Now! Don't put off until tomorrow what can be started today! Remember, IF NOTHING CHANGES, THEN NOTHING CHANGES!
God Bless,
