You must understand that change is a simple two part process, and you must change WHAT you are to achieve WHO you are. Before you can start the process you must realize that everything that happens to you is your responsibility. You have literally thought yourself into what you are now. You and you alone make the choices you make, when you fail to make proper choices you are punished by the universe for your failure. This punishment can be anything that causes you misery. You can be miserable because you don't have enough money; probably because you chose to spend more than you make, or miserable because you failed to make a correct choice in your behavior and now you have no friends. Choosing what you do is a result of your thoughts, what you think, you then believe, and what you believe influences your choice, which in turn influences your behavior. For example if you choose wrong and park in a no parking zone rather than wait a few for a spot to open, you get a ticket. Then if you choose wrong and fail to pay the ticket then they come and boot your car so you can't drive your car. Then is you continue to choose wrong and still do not pay your fine then they take your car and you have to pay even more. This example is simple but you can change the situation to anything you want to see that wrong choices result in misery.
The first step in changing is making a decision. Yes you make a choice, then with making this choice you must determine to your self that you will stick to this choice you have made. Making this choice you should always do your research and make an informed decision. Determine what it is that you want, and then make a choice to get it, after that you must resolve to stand by your decision as it is your decision, and no one else can make the choice for you.
The second step is taking actions based on your decision. Nothing happens until something moves, so you can choose all day long, but until you actually do something with and for your choice, nothing will happen. Choosing to do nothing is a choice, some say a safe choice, but doing nothing is often a wrong choice and will result in misery.
There you have it, the easiest lesson to learn, but for some reason the hardest one to live. Do not be afraid of change, it is going to happen, so unless you act to change it to be as you will, the change will happen anyway and probably cause you misery. Make an informed decision and act on it. Get started you can make minor course corrections as you go. If you never start you will never finish. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Be Blessed
