The greatest secret of change is to bring yourself into the present moment and to immediately take action.
But how can you do this?
I am not talking about the type of change that lasts for just a few months and then we go back to the same stuff we always used to do. No, I am talking about that everlasting change that permits us to move onward with our lives and leave our old ways behind. This is the true change that will last forever. The secret is to commit everything you have in your life to building what you can in the present moment.
The past and the future can be equally dangerous in keeping your mind out of the present moment. In fact, while most people consider the past to be more negative and the future to be more positive, there isn't really isn't much difference between them except for the fact that one has passed. Both are destructive if they keep your head out of what's going on right now.
The journey towards making long-lasting changes in your life isn't a simple and straight path. It's incredibly windy and it will take everything you have to commit to it. True transformations will challenge you, ask the best from you, and if you are anything short of 100% committed to your life they won't happen. Maybe that's why a vast majority of the New Years Resolutions fail?
So what can you do to make sure that you're successful?
The plan is simple. Ready? Focus on one thing every single day that will improve your life in some way and do that for the rest of your life. Give up trying to change everything all at once - that way of thinking is broken. Think about your best life being created in the same way you would walk up a big mountain. Day after day take step after step. I know this idea isn't incredibly sexy, but it's what works.
Start a successful journey of change today.
Don't wait.
