Change Begins With Choice
Any
day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish; we
can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we
can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life
change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of
having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We
can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth,
and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the
effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The
fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by
our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better
choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need
more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They
need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth.
We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the
wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest
difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices
that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives.
And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and
needing to make changes in their life - If you don't like how things are, change
it! You're not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in
your life - and it all begins with your very own power of choice.
To Your Success,
