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.
