As humans, we will do anything in our power to avoid change. We like comfortable and predictable. Many of us are willing to put up with a ton of pain – whether it be physical, mental, or emotional – before we choose to change.
Why? Because change is hard to do. Change takes effort. Change takes sweat. Change requires a deep level of commitment. The secret to change is being more committed to the future than the past or present.
You say you want to lose 10 pounds, it’s up to you
You say you want to increase your revenues two-fold, it’s up to you
You say you want to find your dream job, it’s up to you
You say you want to develop your leadership skills, it’s up to you
You say you want to find your soulmate, it’s up to you
You say you want to be happier, it’s up to you
You say you want to stop worrying about the future, it’s up to you
If only you could wave a magic wand and get exactly what you want. The truth is, no one can do it for you but you don’t have to do it alone. Find a therapist or a healer, hire a relationship/dating coach or work with me as your business and leadership consultant. Set yourself up for success by creating a support team around you that can help you get the results you want.
Once you choose to be more than you think and decide to not go it alone, that’s when real change happens.
