Stop. Look. Listen.

“Just stop it. Seriously. Whatever it is. Just stop it. If only for an hour, a day, a week. Stop doing it long enough to get a glimpse of what the change would actually look like.”- mary anne radmacher

Are you able to stop what you are doing to notice what change would look like or are you so busy with life that you can't or won't...

Change is the only thing that is constant but yet we fight against it with all our might and what happens? Change still happens, but it is the change we didn't want rather than the change that we really wanted.

What would happen if you were to stop long enough to get a glimpse of what that change would mean? Would you be able to make a better decision about the change, would you still want to make the change or would you run to make the change?

If you are not changing, you are stagnating and when you stagnate, you are moving in the wrong direction. We should always move forward or at least when we take 1 step back, we are able to take 2 steps forward.

What needs to change in your life, your business, in you?
Stop doing what it is that you are doing and see what change would look like.

Change - Jim Rohn

“I used to say ‘I sure hope that things will change.’ Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change.”~Jim Rohn

Do you hear yourself saying 'I sure hope that things change for me?' I know that I have. And then I go back to this great quote from Jim and I realize that I'm in charge of changing me. No one else is going to come up to me and change me. It's up to me and it's my choice!

How have you changed this week? This month? This year? Have you changed? Have you grown or have you remained stagnant? How's that working for you?

How do you feel about change? Do you embrace it or do you fear it?

Most people say, 'Oh yea, I love change. I change all the time.' I hope that they are talking about more than their underwear, but sometimes it seems maybe that's all they are changing...

Winston Churchill said "We must take change by the hand or rest assuredly, change will take us by the throat." Are you taking change by the hand or does change have you by the throat? Think about that for a few minutes...
