No More Excuses

To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions. ~William James

What are you waiting for?  You know you want to do something different.  You know you want to change.  So, why are you waiting?  Whatever reasons you may have, they're just excuses.   There is safety in not changing even if you are unhappy.  What if you make a change and it's worse?  Guess what!   You can change again, even, go back.  Throw those excuses aways and get planning. There are so many options out there - changing is living.  Go for it.  Get started!

AFFIRMATION - say: "I will begin to change today - with enthusiasm!"

Change The Way You Think

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it,

change the way you think about it.  ~Mary Engelbreit

You are the only one that limits your ability to change the world in which you live.  You limit yourself by how you think. You change the world with action but if you are unwilling to act then change your thinking.   Dwelling on things you are unwilling to change wastes energy, time and brain power.  However, if you are going to make change happen...begin today.  Right now. 

AFFIRMATION - say: "I will begin to change today or I will take control on how I think about the things I "think" cannot change."

“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans” ~ John Lennon

It is important to be prepared. To reach goals in life and business, you have to have a plan to attain them. Work diligently to set a path for yourself.

However, don’t get too narrow. You have many goals. Don’t work too hard at one goal at the expense of other goals or things in your life. I know a man that worked so hard to provide a roof over his kid’s head that he was never home to raise his kids.

Work hard but remember the moments in life and the important people in life. What do you and they really need? Take a moment to dial it back if it’s out of control and you are too focused on one goal.

Affirmation – Say: “I will make sure that all things in my life are given the right amount of attention.”

Change

“Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” George Bernard Shaw

So many want to do better, be better, do different, be different – however, until you change your thought processes and beliefs, you will always end up in the same place you were before. The mind is so powerful, it can trick you. The last thing your brain wants you to do is change because that might mean you’ve been wrong. Just because you did something different and it didn’t work, it doesn’t make it wrong. 

It’s time – it’s time to change your mind.

Affirmation: “I will change my thoughts and beliefs so that I can be what I aspire to be.”

Do not let fear paralyze you!

Fear is a good thing.  It helps us protect ourselves from the things that can really harm us.  But, we use it too much as an excuse.  It readily available to use for not doing...for not changing.  Use fear wisely to protect yourself BUT, don't use it as a crutch.  To get any happiness or success, you must be willing to set aside fear and take that leap of faith. Take risks or you will always get the same thing.

Power is yours and only yours

You have the power to make change in yourself. No one else can do this for you. You cannot sit around and ask that others do what you can only do yourself. If you do this, you will be waiting a long time and will be miserable. When you take ownership of your power – you can change yourself…your world.

It's ok to dream!

It's OK to dream for something but, until you make an action plan - it stays just that - a dream.  To change your dreams into reality, set forth realistic goals.  Make them small at first and build upon them and someday your dreams will be reality.

Think Good Things

A man is literally what he thinks ~ James Allen

If you think you are a loser, then you are a loser and will treat others as losers.  When your thoughts are self-depricating and you will live what you believe.  You then create a muddy picture of the world.  Changing self thoughts is not easy but is neccessary for a better life.  Start simply with even the smallest idea such as, "I am good at breathing."

Change Is Good!

Fall is on it's way.  The earth will go into slumber and awaken fresh and new in the Spring.  We too must look at change as a way to rest for the things that have made us weary.  Find energy in change - for it is something to look forward to!

Don't Worry

Dont worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: dont worry about a thing,cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Rise up this mornin, Smiled with the risin sun,
Three little birds, Pitch by my doorstep
Singin sweet songs, Of melodies pure and true,

Sayin, (this is my message to you-ou-ou:)

Singin: dont worry bout a thing,cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: dont worry (dont worry) bout a thing,cause every little thing gonna be all right!

~Bob Marley
