Change Starts with Your Mind!

Life may not always turn out the way you want it to turn out. You may not be the person you want to be or have the job you want to have. You may not have a relationship or the relationship that you want to have. But this one thing I know, each one of us has the power to change ALL of that! But change requires realistic assessment, evaluation, plans, and action!

Michael Jackson said that you can make a change if you start with the man or woman in the mirror. No don't start primping or congratulating yourself on how beautiful you are. Start by looking at the things you may not want to see. The things that are ugly and dark that you want to push under the sofa instead of sweeping out so that you can deal with them.

True change requires a thorough sweeping, cleaning, dusting, and purging! Purging is to rid of impure or undesirable elements. We all have some in our lives. So we need to be honest about that and deal with them for what they are. Honesty with ourselves is difficult and without it we can't be honest with others. The truth is that if you are not where you want to be, you are not ready to be there. When you get ready, there is nothing and no one who can stop you from being there. But readiness is a process that starts with a change in your mind.

Today open yourself up to changing your mind about your situation and circumstances. Change your behaviors to line up with your new mindset. Now change your habits to change your outcomes! Change...a small word with a big cost. Change will cost you something so decide up front if you are willing to pay the cost, then budget for the change. Remember, it starts with your mind!

Changing,
