The decision to change for the better can happen immediately. Sticking to that decision and fulfilling the choice will take a lot longer. The thing about immediately made decisions is that they can just as immediately change. For a decision of improvement to stick, it has to be repeatedly acted on until a new habit … Continue reading Immediately

Reboot
We can all get stuck in a rut. But, change is scary. So, rather than trying to completely overhaul your life, try giving it a reboot. Keep all of the familiar greatest hits of your life, just freshen them up a bit. Possibly add a cool new character or two. And bring it all up … Continue reading Reboot
Change it Up
Change is a natural part of life. In fact, change comes from growth, and if you aren't growing, you're dying. If there's anything that isn't working in your life, change it up. If there's something that feels stale and stagnant, or maybe too comfortable, change it up. There's no better time than the present. Change … Continue reading Change it Up
Inner World
Before anything in your outer world can change, you have to start changing the thoughts that make up your inner world. After all, everything that happens in your outer world, begins with the thoughts you think in your inner world. So, go to the source of it all. Change your thoughts. Change the way you … Continue reading Inner World
Attitude
I personally believe that your success depends on a a little bit of talent, brains and contacts and a whole lot of can-do attitude. Your attitude can make or break you. In other words, your perspective on things, and how you react to them. And the fastest way to change a crummy day to a … Continue reading Attitude
Permanent
Nothing lasts forever. That can be a scary thought, or it can be extremely liberating. Whichever perspective you take is your choice. Just know that "permanent" doesn't really exist. It reminds me of when I was a kid, and there was a craze for people to go out and get a "permanent" hairstyle, or what's … Continue reading Permanent
New Chapter
The great thing about life is it just keeps moving forward. That means every week can be the start of a whole new chapter. Every day could be your chance at a fresh start. In fact, every single moment you can decide to start fresh, to start a brand new chapter, and go forward in … Continue reading New Chapter
Get On With It
Time only marches forward. There is no pause button. There is no rewind. If you're resisting change, then you're only torturing yourself, because change is inevitable. You might as well get on with it, and learn to enjoy the ride. After all, if you aren't changing and growing, then you're rotting.
Narrative
They say that people don't change, just like a leopard doesn't change its spots. But I believe you can change, it just takes a lot of self reflection and then dedication to the change. Our personalities are basically the result of the story we keep telling. It's the narrative of "who we are" that determines … Continue reading Narrative
Adaptable
The superpower that has helped humans survive and thrive is their ability to adapt. Being adaptable is your ace in the hole for navigating all of the massive and minuscule changes that our society is going through. It's when we forget that we can adapt that these changes become unbearable. When we try to hold … Continue reading Adaptable
Habitual
Who we are ultimately comes down to our habits. What we habitually do and habitually think determines what our personality becomes. The good news about this, is that habits are formed by us, and if a habit isn't serving us, we can change it. We can change our habits by adopting new habits in their … Continue reading Habitual
Evolve
Everything in this world is constantly changing. We can't resit this, so we either evolve as we go along, or we deteriorate. Nothing is static. Nothing stays frozen in time. I mean there are days when my hair looks just right, and I wish I could just freeze it to stay put. But then I'd … Continue reading Evolve
Evolve
You are not done. Nothing is ever done. It's always changing, evolving and growing. Who you are today will change by tomorrow, even if only ever so slightly. Your beliefs, your knowledge, and certainly your life experience will keep changing. And that goes the same for everyone else. Just think about it. If you were … Continue reading Evolve
Simple
This may sound overly simple, but it's extremely empowering to remember that all we are ever really dealing with is a thought, and that can be changed. It truly just boils down to our thoughts on any given subject. Are we feeling resistance in our thoughts about it? Or are we in agreement with it? … Continue reading Simple
Cherish
It's a comforting thought to know that bad times won't last forever, because nothing lasts forever. Everything changes. Storms soon pass, and then the sun shines again. But the sun also sets. And good times don't last forever either, because everything changes. Businesses close their doors for good, children grow up and leave, and even … Continue reading Cherish
Action
The greatest teachers of motivation all agree that action cures fear. In fact, I recently heard the host of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu, say that "Action Cures All!" Fear is an emotion caused by a perceived danger or threat. In other words, it is started in the mind. So the best way to counter that, … Continue reading Action
Choose Kindness
Choosing to be kind is practicing mastery in your life. It's such a low and easy choice to be cruel. But being kind is a powerful choice that can elevate everything in your life. Being kind can improve, and even eliminate the situation you thought required cruelty in the first place. But it's impossible to … Continue reading Choose Kindness
Change it
It seems to me that the worst part of standing around complaining about something is that you're wasting time convincing yourself how bad it is, rather than doing something to improve the situation. Complaining has actually been proven to be bad for your mental and physical health. It brings on all sorts of issues, like … Continue reading Change it
Today
When we get stuck on what happened yesterday, or 10 years ago, or even on what happened in 1913, we are holding our lives hostage to the past. Let the past go. Today is a new day. You get to be brand new each day. Or you can be the same victim or hero you … Continue reading Today
Better
We think everything happens out there, and that the world out there has too many things that need to be fixed. And it's a big world. And needing to fix such a big world makes it seem like a really big job. But it's important to remember that we each are a part of this … Continue reading Better
Thoughts
A Course in Miracles teaches that What you see reflects your thinking, and your thinking but reflects the choice of what you want to see. Our brains are these perfectly built machines with an elegant system for filtering information far better than any algorithm from a computer search engine or social media platform. Through the … Continue reading Thoughts
Change
Wayne Dyer would always say, When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. It's helpful to remember that we have this power, especially when the things we look at don't look so great. And, oftentimes the world around us looks so troubled because there's a lot of noise … Continue reading Change
Make a difference
There's so much chaos going on in the world right now, moving at such a fast pace, and it feels overwhelming. It feels so big. If you ever think the world's problems are so insurmountable, and that you have no power to affect any change, just remember this gem of quote from the Dalai Lama: … Continue reading Make a difference
Marching Forward
We grow from day to day, sometimes with each passing moment, and through each life lesson we change. Life keeps marching forward, and I know that I'm not the same person I was last year. I'm not even the same person I was last week. Some changes are subtle. Some changes leave me unrecognizable to … Continue reading Marching Forward
