Moving On!

I consistently watch people do absolutely nothing to change their course of life. Maybe they work, maybe they make an effort to get by....
Ok, good. But if you dont take the next step, if someone doesn't force you to take the next step, then you'll likely be 'getting' by for a good long time.
Our future, our life is 100% up to us. There's nothing magical, there's nothing grand that's going to happen to change your life! You are the only one that can do that.
It's a one step at a time thing. Make a plan, make it in tiny little steps and then take that tiny little "first" step. It's not that hard.
Figure out exactly what isn't happening in your life. Then move to the plan. Make the very first goal a step towards changing that thing in your life that is holding you back.
Is it a lifestyle change you need to make, is it a disconnect you need to make? Deep inside you, you know what else you could be doing different, so why aren't you?
Often we get caught up in comfort, the comfort of having that job we've had forever, living in that town that we have always lived in, working with those people we are used to. For some it's lack of determination, lack of a drive to get out of bed in the morning and get up and do something different. Some of us, it's lack of focus, lack of discipline.
I dont care how young or old you are, you can change your life, you CAN do something different. No one is going to do it for you and NO ONE should. Redefine what you ought to be doing right now, it's pretty likely you AREN'T doing it.
Ask yourself, "Do I want to be where I am right now, 5 years down the road?" If you dont, then there's the start of your plan, what do you need to do next. Don't wait,right now is the perfect time to change your course and if you dont, then don't cry to me, because I had to make that decision and move myself!

This post is so true. How many of us would still be where we were twenty years ago if we had never taken that first step to change? And we all know people who still NEED to take the step. They're still doing today what we were all doing together twenty years ago, and still getting the same results, still going around to the same friends whining about their lives. I think some people just fear any kind of change, period. Great post, Angie!
