REPENT!

 

Good question…why do I want to be healthier? Why do I want to get better at what I do? Why do I want to be more prosperous? Is it so I can be slightly healthier and live longer with the version of who I am now? Is it so I can do the same things that I’m doing now only a little better at it? Is it so I can be the same as I am now only with a little more money?

Throughout history, when one decides enough is enough and determines to change the path he or she is on, it is without fail, accompanied by a complete change of mindset; 100% of the time. A person who resolves to lose 100 pounds, changes her mind, and adopts a completely different lifestyle as her approach to food and nutrition changes. Her attitude about exercise differs. Her determination strengthens.

One who is fed up with his financial struggles, career, lifestyle or bad relationships, and wants things to change then he changes his mind. It’s accompanied by a drastic change of mental attitude because the fact is, it is the mind that controls it all.  

It's all in your head.

Have you ever heard someone say about someone else, “he’s not ready to change”? This is when a person’s motivation to stay the same is greater than his desire to change like the old hound dog who’d rather sit on a nail, in agony, because he’s too lazy to move to another section of the porch.

If I want to get out of debt but still maintain my current work ethics, the same attitude about money, and keep the same learned helplessness, then a year from now I am likely to be in the same position, or worse.

The decision to work harder and smarter, to invest my money, to lose weight, to be a better husband, to be a better servant or to improve my skills begins and ends in my mind. Sometimes the thought of a dismal future is enough but then I must believe the change will be.

Fear pushes us but hope pulls us.

So, it’s a law just like in physics. “An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force”. To change my life, I must change your mind.
