Change isn’t easy

fullsizerender-21

Whatever it is in our lives that we are trying to change the journey is not an easy one.

It is going to require accepting things about ourselves, it is going to need commitment, it is going to be hard work.

There will be setbacks and times when you questions whether or not it is worth it. Perhaps you were OK anyway and didn’t need to change.

Others will try to derail you, you may even lose people along the way as you change as a person.

You might not make the change you wanted.

However, more often you will make it if you stick at it.

Changing something is a hugely liberating and meaningful thing to do. Doing nothing has no joy.

The reality is, to never try to change is longer term much harder and once you have put the hard work into making one change, other changes come much easier. It becomes a habit.

Better always to try something than to never try at all no matter how challenging.

After all always doing the same will always bring the same outcome.

Not the outcome you wanted

If you are not happy with the outcome of something, instead of looking for something or someone to blame, look at your input.

If we keep putting in the same we will get the same thing out.

New outcomes do not happen immediately.

However, they only come when we are willing to do things differently.

Doing things differently isn’t like flicking a switch, it means being committed to changing habits. That is a process of taking small daily steps and being prepared to put in the hard work to commit long enough for the new habit to form.

The hard work reaps reward and suddenly your life is full of outcomes you wanted.

What new outcomes do you want to start working on?
