We all know the old adage – if you do what you’ve always done, you‘ll get what you’ve always gotten. Have you ever thought about what that really means? It means you’ve got to change.
Change.
We resist it. We fight it. Often it is inconvenient. Sometimes it terrorizes us.
But out of change has come some of the world’s greatest innovations.
We can’t move forward in our lives without change. If we want to improve our health, we must make changes to our lifestyles. If we want to improve our positions in life, often we must seek out more education, get a degree, change jobs or strike out on our own.
Without change, America would not stretch “from sea to shining sea.” Yes, there were many negatives along the way, but this westward expansion created the country we live in and the opportunities we now experience.
We shouldn’t shun change, we should embrace it. Yes it can be painful, but it’s like eating your vegetables. It’s good for you. It causes you to grow. Even in the worst of circumstances, change can have a positive impact on your life. Especially when you can’t see the eventual outcome
So what change should you be embracing? What will make your life better? Figure it out and then make it happen. I found this unsourced quote on the Internet, but I’m making it my new motto “Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become.”
