The Change You Need Is You

You can tell me right now any number of things that are stopping you from achieving what you want to become in life. It is easy to name those things that we wish were absent and we would have had the perfect lives. Given a sheet of paper, we can continue to name them all and still need space for more.

But no matter what you think is stopping you, do not think you are so special that life prepares a different type of challenge for you. We all have the versions of our challenges that we all face and until you realize that your challenge is not the problem, then there is a big problem.

The most important agent that can help overcome whatever challenges you are going through is you. Did you know that no matter the time of the year or the economic condition, some people are still taking the same challenges and turning them into better opportunities? Did you know that companies like LinkedIn were created during very difficult economic conditions?

No one says it is going to be very easy. Understand that no one guarantees you a sure way to success, but the only thing you can do that would take you closer to where you want to be is if you never remain the person that you are. Consider how important it is that you achieve the goals that you want and let that be what pushes you.

Know that no matter how much I tell you to go change and be better, the only person that can make that happen is you. And most times, we do not need to start with the most difficult challenges, you can start with the very simple ones and those ones can help build your muscles until you become better and better. When you are much better, then you can handle the more difficult challenges.

Never think of just starting out with the big challenges. You should start with very small ones. Those ones that you can quickly get over with and still be feeling good about yourself. What you need is to keep up at the small ones and keep moving forward. Some people call that discipline. Call it whatever you want, but until you have that, it might proof very difficult to get to where you want to be.

Know that the conditions might change or might not, but the only thing you can be sure of changing is you. Put in the effort you need to start with changing yourself and everything around you changes. What is that small thing you can do right now that can help give you a better future? Pick something small and continue with that.

Give yourself time to rest and get back up, but never give up on changing yourself. No matter what the past has given to you, today is a day you can decide to change or be better. No one can change you if you do not change. Put in the work and get yourself to that level you want to be.

The world awaits your greatness. Thanks for reading
