Change Begins With Choice
by Jim Rohn
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all.
Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to
new knowledge. Any day wewish; we can start a new activity. Any
day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do
it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And
if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable,
we can remain as we are.
We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education,
delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are
ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to
nourish the cause.
As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars,
but in ourselves."
We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both
the ability and the responsibility to make better choices
beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not
need more answers or more time to think things over to reach
better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole
truth.
And they need nothing but the truth.
We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to
lead us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to those
basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works
out. And then we must make the very choices that will bring life,
happiness and joy into our daily lives.
And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for
someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life - If
you don't like how things are, change it!
You're not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform
every area in your life - and it all begins with your very own
power of choice.
To Your Success, Jim Rohn
