Can You Change Your Life?

What are you doing on your path to the future? Are you interested in improving yourself, learning new things, making your life better. I seem to have always been on a path of self-betterment as I always learn, want to know more, want to have more positives in my life, and want to be a better person, while at the same time being forever grateful for what I have.

It is somewhat like tennis players - they come in all levels of ability and someone who says they are "good" to some people may be a very poor player to others. Just look at the ranked tennis players. I am sure I would just be watching the ball fly by - that is if I can see it. But there are some people I can beat! But I have learned to NEVER say I am "good," as that can come back to bite me. But I digress. I say this to indicate that everyone is in a different place with their personal growth/self improvement. There is no right or wrong - just different. After all, watch the Oprah show and then watch reality shows. Examples of diversity. People on some reality tv shows may not be invited to be enlightened guests on Oprah.

One of my latest discoveries was a few years ago with the whole "Secret", manifesting your destiny movement. I believe I had to work hard to rid my self of old beliefs and feelings before I could have achieved the levels I have achieved. A few years ago, I was ready. Have you ever heard the saying "if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten."! This is very important. Many of us feel stuck and we can't get out of the "muck", but really, if we start working in that moment to change our destiny, to believe the good can come to us, that we are worth it, then it can change in the future. I am very pleased with where I am today. It takes a lot of patience, however, and a lot of faith. I am not a religious person, but I do believe in higher beings. I also believe in the science of quantum physics - what we focus on is what manifests. When we have a negative attitude, we manifest more negativity - just that.

I also believe it was necessary to go through some of the things I went through to get to this place. Now, my life has changed.

The real self-improvement paradigm is difficult. It is tough work. It is easier to stay in a rut and do what we have always done and complain about it. As a counselor, I see many people who want the other person to change - the other person to stop doing something. So turn that around, look at yourself, and remember you are the only one who can make your life better. And no "yeah, but's" please. When we are trying to move forward, we get stopped in our tracks. It is the same as saying "but here is my obstacle."

What does personal growth have to do with making money or improving your life or having financial freedom or being successful on the internet. "If you believe it, you can be it!"

There is help available everywhere. The question becomes "Are you willing to do the work?" But it IS worth it. Yes, life can get better and better as you change from the inside out.
