Change Is Good
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain. Maya Angelou
"If only..." how many times have you began a sentence like this? You say it as if only THEN you could be happy? What about NOW!? Some of us don't like change and get so stuck in our own way that many an opportunity could have passed us by. Personally, I think change is exciting! A gift! A new way to grow and expand our minds. Lots of times I've dumped myself smack dab in the middle of a huge change, like Basic Training for the US Army! "WOWEE!" Is what I was thinking when we were all herded off the bus like cattle and told to dump out all of our belongings on the sidewalk. I had mistakenly brought along a curling iron. "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE SOLDIER!!!??? A RESORT???!!!" Uh oh. They rode me, specifically because I was older and tall (stuck out), like there's no tomorrow and several times I thought I would break down and cry like a baby! What I discovered at the end? I'm a crack shot! Surprised the hell out of the Drill Sergeants, me too! It was in the top five moments of my life, to shoot Expert at qualification - all from a change. What have you been wanting to change? What will you do TODAY in that direction?
