You Must Make A Change to See A Change

Change happens! Seasons change, our age changes, jobs and careers change, our bodies change, and it goes on. For many of the changes, we have no control, and others are completely within our hands.

If you knew that by changing a few simple things that you could realize all your dreams and goals, what would you change? Why not begin now and take the CHANGE CHALLENGE? Here's how to begin.

Take a journal or piece of paper and make two lists. The FIRST list is all the things that you HAVE TO DO! Once the list is completed, look it over and see what you can eliminate. Maybe you really don't have to do some of the things you listed. List number TWO is all about your wants. What do you truly WANT to do. Go for it and dream big.

Now you are going to ask yourself - which of these applies to me?

I HAVE TO CHANGE & I WANT TO

I DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE, BUT I WANT TO

I DON’T WANT TO CHANGE, BUT I HAVE TO

I DON’T WANT TO CHANGE & I DONT HAVE TO!

Review each of the four categories and then decide which one best suits your situation today. To help you I have defined them in greater detail.

I DON’T WANT TO CHANGE, BUT I HAVE TO!

Change happens and then we are forced to make adjustments. What life circumstances have caused you to have to change? Are you in transition? Be kind to yourself. Then step back and take a look at what has to happen. Let be your guide.

I DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE, BUT I WANT TO.

There is nothing you really have to do, but there are things you want to do. Look at your second list and move onto this page any actions that are appropriate. Are they any items that made it to both pages? “It’s Play time.”

I HAVE TO CHANGE & I WANT TO.

Is there something in our life nagging at you? You feel uncomfortable or unfulfilled? You know that you have to change and you are ready to do it. Look at your lists - move items from the list to this page. “Let Passion by your guide.”

I DON’T WANT TO CHANGE & I DONT HAVE TO!

If you are at peace with yourself, then stop and smell the roses. You have nothing to change. Each day say, “ I am at peace with my life.” How are you going to be peaceful?

Now, look at your two lists, where can you place some of the items on your Have to and Want to lists. In which category do they fit?

Your challenge is to determine what you need, or want to do to feel more fulfilled and accomplished. You will have 30 days to see a change. Select something simple and easy, and make a commitment to change something every day.

YOU MUST WRITE DOWN WHAT IT IS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH. Then keep a log by posting what you did on this blog every day. Everyone involved will be supportive and give you a big "Way to Go" as you move forward on your goals.
