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
