Have you been looking for that “moment” when everything changes? I call it an “aha” moment. It’s got two parts. First, when you’re thinking one way and another thought comes in that contradicts or crosses that thought and allows, in your mind, the possibility that things can be different. A new thought is possible! Much depends upon what you do next. If you dismissed the thought, or react to it with reasons why it’s not valid, you will probably return to the original way of thinking and become more frozen in that line of thought. If you resist the urge to go negative and think about the possibilities, the new thought will live. The second part of the “aha” moment, if you get that far, is when you take that new thought and figure out how to put that thought into action. Once you change your behavior consistent with the new thought, you anchor it and you become a catalyst for change in your life. Now you need to persist in this new process of “changing the thought, moving a muscle!”
If you have been accepting that which is unacceptable in your life and deluding yourself that someone else (Prince Charming?) or something outside yourself is going to change to make you okay, then the above quote is definitely for you. What do you deserve? And if you believe you deserve different than what you have been accepting, then it’s time to make some changes based upon this new insight, don’t you think? Change is an inside job, or you will be changed by outside forces.
Please comment on this quote and how my ideas apply to your life. Also feel free to share this with your friends.
I wish you a blessed and Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year.
Peace, John
