Nothing changes unless something changes. Common phrase used in pep talks, motivational seminars, sales coaching. Do we really apply this to our lives? All too often I regret things I haven't done, or where I am now in life, and "if I had only" or "if I COULD only." And the next day comes and I do the same regrettable things I did yesterday. I really don't think I am alone in this. Am I? AM I??? I didn't think so.
So whether it's "gee, I wish I would exercise regularly," or "it sure would be nice if I had a job that utilized my real talents," we each have something we could do a little bit better. I am committing to change those things one small step at a time.
One of my best friends often tells me he needs to get out of his line of work. How he's reached an age where he should have something more to show for himself than what he does. How he needs to move out of the crap-shack he's living in. Etc. I've heard it over and over for the past year! At least once a month he says to me, "I'm finally ready to get another job!" or "It's definitely time to find a new place." Yet month after month NOTHING HAS CHANGED!! Why? Because HE hasn't changed.
Now, I think it's okay to take a few beats when you don't know exactly what to do. That's what I've been doing for a YEAR! But enough of that! Maybe I don't know exactly what the next step is, but I'm not going to find it repeating the same old routine I have been so far. So, that's all the 21 days is! Changing the routine. IMPROVING the routine!!!
See you at 6am!!
