Change Begins With Choice
by Jim Rohn
Any day we wish we can discipline ourselves to
change it all. Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to
new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we
can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or
next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather
than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us
uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor,
entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence.
The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to
nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in
the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by our past
choices.
We have both the ability and the responsibility
to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life
do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better
conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need
nothing but the truth.
We cannot allow our errors in judgment,
repeated every day, to lead us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to
those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works out. And
then we must make the very choices that will bring life, happiness and joy into
our daily lives.
And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece
of advice for someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life - If you
don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. You have the ability to
totally transform every area in your life - and it all begins with your very own
power of choice.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
