Taking Steps to Change....

Many people live in this world, constantly changing and moving, while others live life and don’t experience much change.

Why is change important? I believe it’s the only way you grow to a new level of success.  Success can be defined as your ability to accomplish a goal but, the definition of success is not the same for everyone. Some people view success as owning their own business, others view it as having a career while others just want a job. Regardless, we each have our own definition of success.

Many people are afraid of change, the unknown, and are not confident to take different steps.  It’s normal for us to feel this way especially when our skills, experiences or opportunities are limited. The “unknown” can be scary, compromising and hard to adjust to.  Many people say “I’m doing it,” but don’t realize how comfortable they are and that they’re really not moving forward.

I personally went through a period of my life in which I talked, and tried thinking about moving forward but I wasn’t taking any action.  I made myself believe I was taking action because I said “I’m moving forward, I’m doing this, it’s happening for me” but, I didn’t have any action to back up my words.  I was reluctant and very fearful about change.  It felt warm, comfortable and easy to do the same thing I was already doing every day.

Today, I live my life around a “To Do List” with a purpose.  This list has written goals, steps and deadlines for me to complete.  Life always presents us with unpredictable situations and so this is a way for me to remain focused.  Action creates movement which allows you to get to another place. Whenever I find myself comfortable, that’s when I feel lazy and don’t do much. I force myself every day to make better choices, complete “To Do Lists” and move one step further.  I encourage you to challenge your ability to be better, be different and it all starts with ONE step at a time….

This is GOALYGO!
