Are you planning for change in 2008? It is so easy to live your life in 2008 the same way you did in 2007, if you know what I mean. Today is the 4th day of the new year, are you still facing and doing the same old things and thinking in the same old way? Do you feel your life is in a rut?
Do you want a change in your life for the better?
We all do… better finance, better business online or offline, career, grades in studies, being a better parent or student. But, it is easier to think and do nothing; plan and do not execute the plan. In my last post I stated that, “If you fail to plan – you plan to fail”, but I am taking it a step further to say that “If you plan but do nothing, you also plan to fail”.
- What do you want to do?
- What did you plan to do?
- What ideas did you have which you plan to execute?
Take a deep breath. Quieten yourself and think. Get into your being and think; you will know what you want or should be doing all along. Take that step and… sometimes it is a step of faith. FOLLOW YOUR HEART, DO THE RIGHT THING and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF because you know that you CAN do it and NOTHING can stop you!
There no time to waste and procrastinate any further if you have been doing procrastinating your plans (ie. make money plans, etc.) in 2007. Today is the day to make the change. This year 2008 WILL be your BEST year yet!!
We need to be courageous to change. Because if we do not change, you will not see progress. If we refuse to make that change our lives will be mundane and meaningless.
Plan for a change for:
- A healthy balanced life.
- Better relationships with people.
- More time doing what is really, really, really is important to you.
- Higher emotional well-being and self-esteem.
- A greater sense of success and achievement in whatever you do.
How to make that change?
If you have failed to do the right things, repent (turn away 180 degrees) for these wrong things. Accept that you have failed. Do not blame it on anyone else. Acknowledging, turning away and accepting your failures are first steps to change in our lives.
Next, decide to change. Plan that change if it is spending more time with that or this, to improve this, etc. Do it.
Then, add commitment to that decision. Do not procrastinate anymore. If it means to schedule time in the day for it. Do it.
Lastly, add discipline to that commitment for change because there will be times when our body will NOT want to change. Let us push ourselves to change… for our own good. Eventually, the change will be permanent and we have indeed changed for the better!!
Only Fools won’t change and Dead men can’t change.
If we are alive and well… let us CHANGE!! The road to success is always under construction. Don’t end up like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set.
Your ability to lead the change will determine your success in life.
- Move on from being a Simpleton or a Novice from childish attitudes and ignorant, fearful in his ways.
- Move on from being a Fool because fools will find every excuse for being who he is and pride himself that he need not to change.
- Move on from being a Scorner who is resentful, critical and bitter and in despair because of past hurts and failures and blaming everyone around for his/her predicament.
- Move on from being a Lazy person who is lazy, filled with apathy and lethargy and even indifferent about everything around him.
- Move on to being a Wise person who is confident, knowing what to do for himself and disciplining himself to do what he has planned, committed to accomplish in his life for himself and for his love ones.
You cannot become what you are destined to be by remaining what you are. Do not fear change; it is the unchangeable law of increase.
I hope you are challenged to change. I am challenging your way of thinking and hopefully you will KNOW that success is possible when you can believe it is possible in yourself if you make that change.
As a Man Thinketh in His Heart, So is He
As the author of this post, I love success but I do have had my times of failure, despair and challenges because I am as human as anyone else. With God on my side and a believe in my heart… I believe nothing is too difficult in 2008 that you cannot achieve and succeed!
Be encouraged, be determined, make that change and let us make it to the TOP! To your success!
