Alter the Course of Your Life

Do you like change?  Or do you like the indistinguishable life that you had?  If you cannot change the environment around you then change the way you are around the environment.  To handle yourself, use your head.  To handle others, use your heart.  As Dr. Ron Archer said, you will need to transform your head, heart, hands, and habits to create success.  My main thought on this blog is alteration of habits.  We, as humans, are creatures of habits.  We can do most things without thinking about them and why is that?  Habits.  Do smokers habitually smoke or just have a craving?  Do runners or any athletes run for the sake of running or are they just trying stay in shape?  Habits are evil yet virtuous.  The habits we choose make us to who we are.  If you are habitually making excuses, then guess what, you are continually going to make excuses because it is part of who you are.  Those habits is a part of your character.  Your self.   Own them before they own you. 

 

 Good thing about habits is you can change them before they eat you alive.  I ask you again, do you like change?  Do you want to keep those habits?  To change your, lets say, BAD habits is the same as being successful in life.  You will fail before you will succeed meaning you will fail miserably changing your habit before you become successful.  Another tip is to remain committed to changing that habit.  Sitting on your ass saying to yourself these millions of excuses to not do the right thing.  Your habit is telling you what you are doing while sitting on your ass is a good thing.  So what I want you to do first is to start thinking what is good.  What is positive.  Think about what got you in the rut, those negative thoughts, and extinguish them with motivational and positive ideas.  Corny as it is but little phrases goes a long way.  Say to yourself, "yes, I can," "I can do it," "get up," or "let's go" over and over helps but does not guarantee success.  With thoughts come doubts.  Now your heart has to be involve with the process.  Focus.  Focus on the will-power.  Focus on one goal, one task.  Concentrate on it not just by thought but also by compassion.  Be passionate on changing your habit.  It sounds so simple but it is difficult for many.  One last tip to help change for the best is to exercise.  The best form to relieve stress.  One saying to help change yourself is to change what you look on the outside before you can change what you are in the inside.  If you cannot make yourself exercise in a daily basis, then I'll help you make excuses for yourself for not exercising.  Like the old proverb states, old habits die hard. Do you like saying this to yourself... I'm too fat.  I'm too slow.  It's cold out.  It's raining.  I got a headache.  It's too hot.  I got a headache.  My muscles ache.  I'm stomach hurts.  I don't have clothes to exercise in.  I don't have the motivation.  I haven't ate yet.  If this is you then we have a lot of work to do.  First and foremost, get rid of the petty things in your life.  Stay committed to what is important to you.

 You want to stay the same.  Is that what is important to you?  Alter the course of your life.  Don't be afraid of change.  Change is inevitable.  Look around you.  Nothing is truly the same.  Look at yourself.  Do you look the same a few years ago?  Do you feel the same?  Do you act the same?  Do you think the same?  If you answered all yes then yes, stay the same.
