Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction. Germany Kent
How are we doing so far on the changes we want to make? Have we asked ourselves what we want to stop doing, start, or keep doing this year? Sometimes we think we need radical change but small tweaks here and there can lead to big changes over time.
What if one of the reasons we don’t get the results we want is we want to change too much when our life can only handle small changes? Small changes lead to big changes over time. Maybe trying to change too many things at once is overwhelming; do we need to keep doing what we are doing because we’ve already made changes that put us in the direction of our dreams?
Is it time to enjoy more, relax more, and sleep more, instead of trying to do more? Is this a year of smelling the roses we’ve planted? Enjoying our families, getting together with friends, laughing, and enjoying life more? Is this a year of starting a business, starting a family, and bringing more into our lives, or a year of less business, and more reflection on what is good in our lives? We are all somewhere on the road of life, and at different times our life calls out for different things, and a good life is when we heed the call.
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. George Bernard Shaw
Some people are having a dry January, passing on alcohol for the month. Getting back into a fitness routine or starting one might be our goal. Whatever change we want to make January is a good time to start. We might be thinking New Year, New Me, but will we still be thinking that in March, or by then will we be back to old ways, kicking ourselves for our lack of willpower?
How can we set ourselves up for success to make and keep making the change we want in our lives? Can we go to the gym on our way to or from work? When we do something can that be the trigger for the new thing we want to do in our lives? Do we want to change too many things and we need to pick one, and implement that into our lives before trying to change something else? Is there a change we can make that will pay dividends for the rest of our lives? If we know what it is can we start doing it? If we don’t know what that change is, maybe that is the question we must ask ourselves.
If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If you’re not, you’ll find an excuse. Jen Sincero
Change your thoughts and you change your world. Norman Vincent Peale
The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings. Kakuzo Okakura
