Be Specific
You know, the term, “careful what you wish for”? Using this word can give you the opposite of what you intended and you’ll get exactly what you wish for. So next time you hope and pray for things to change, be specific. This will help enable the changes in which you are hoping for, to actually happen. Thinking about what kind of change you want in your life will also help motivate your actions to help you reach your goal. To do nothing at all will not change anything.
If you don’t know what exactly needs to happen to make changes, you’ll get no place fast. “I’m just not happy, things need to change”! Does this mean anything is better than this? Change can go either way, life’s kind of funny that way. When your weighing out the results for your options, be sure the change will not negate something you cherish. Another thing to consider is if a big change needs to happen, will a few small changes give you similar results?
Small Change, Big Results
I need a pretty big change in my life if I’m going to ever be happy or have peace of mind. It’s just the way I’m wired. I’ve thought about what will make me happy and I know what I need. To see big results, a few small changes can lead you to right where you want to be. Those who desire changes to happen immediately most likely will end up involving another person or people. Your actions will inadvertently cause some kind of changes in their lives as well. I’ve thought of what I want, actually made a list with spaces to add my actions and/or results. After doing this I discovered that one of my items on the list I can be happy without, it’s merely a want/desire I have, it’s really not needed. There were many needs that may be able to address my wants, so I’ll take small steps to get to where I need to be.
Things rarely happen over night. Sure it has happened, but did they truly get the results they had hoped for or were there sacrifices that had to be made? Usually a little luck comes into play as well. Think about your actions, try not to make decisions that are not absolutely necessary if it will cause another person to end up with changes that affect them or even those that love them too. There may be another option if you really take a moment to think about it.
