The Change IS In You.
Changing the we think, act and feel these days is no longer an option; it’s a requirement. But, change does not come easy for most of us. You see, so many of us have been programmed to stay “in the box” throughout our entire lives. We often get stuck in the, same old ways, routine. Doing the exact same thing over and over yet expecting different result or just accepting the results that we have gotten. This does not allow any room to grow personally, emotionally or financially.
Although education is important, we get fooled into believing it is the principal tool for personal growth and success. Many have been told, ‘Go to school and get a good education, so, you can get a good job with benefits and a pension, so, you can retire with an income and enjoy the later years of your life’. At some point over the last 100 years, this was wise advise. Not so much any more.
I am not saying not to get an education, if you have that opportunity do it, but I am saying that we all need to start thinking, acting and feeling “outside the box”. Also for those of us that did not have the opportunity to get a college or university education, don’t think that you have any less opportunity than those that did. Stop thinking that you can never make more than minimum wage or just enough money to get by. Stop thinking that you are not good enough to be a success. Start thinking “outside the box”.
Definition of Change
1. to become different
2. to become altered or modified
3. to become transformed or converted
4. to pass gradually into
To become different you must THINK differently. To become altered or modified you need to ACT on your needs and desires and to transform you will need to FEEL the transformation you want to become. You do this by thinking outside the box, acting outside the box and start feeling outside the box.
If you think you can’t – you can’t! If you feel frustrated – you will give up! If you do nothing – you’ll do nothing!
If you currently do something you don’t like to do, but have to do it to live you have a couple of options. First, stop doing it! In most cases that’s not possible, you need the money so you do the job and complain about it every second you get a change to complain. As a matter of fact many people that hate what they do spend more time complaining about it than they do at it. Your second option is to change the way you THINK about what you do. Start thinking about what this provides to you. Money, food, shelter, vacations perhaps, activities for your kids maybe.
There are so many reasons we do things we don’t like to do. You need to find something you love to do and that will make you an income and do it. Imagine, doing something you love everyday and making money money from it, would you stop complaining? You see most don’t think they can do this because they need their current job – that they hate – to survive. Well start thinking different. Use your current job to continue paying the bills and to also start financing what you love to do until what you love is making enough money to allow you to stop doing what you hate. Whew… that’s a lot to absorb. It’s really simpler than it sounds. Simply start THINKING differently and make a plan to change. ACT on the plan. Don’t just make a plan and wish for it to happen because it won’t. This is what most do and they wonder why they don’t hit their goal. You have to do what you say you are going to do. Keep a journal or get a buddy to keep yourself accountable and set specific time lines to meet your goals. Change the way you ACT.
Finally, change the way your FEEL. I know I have heard it before, ‘but you can’t just change the way you feel’, well I am here to tell you that you can and you must. If you tell yourself or others that you feel like crap, then you’ll feel like crap. If you tell yourself or others ‘this is the greatest day of my life’ then it will be the greatest day of your life to that point and you can do this every single day. You need to change how you feel. Start right now by telling yourself and others that ’2010 is the best year of my life’. Not ‘will be’ or ‘could be’ but ‘IS’ every day and see what starts to happen.
So, change is in you. Change three things and watch everything else around you start to change.
Change the way you THINK – Think positive!
Change the way you ACT – Do what you love!
Change the way you FEEL – Everyday can be the best day of your live!
2010 is the best year ever!
Cheers
