Through the Change Your Life Challenge program, I am privileged to work with women from all walks of life. I have found that most women greet positive change with open arms when given the proper tools. Yet there are some people who just can’t commit to a new approach. They waiver in their efforts and eventually go back to patterns that weren’t working, and become frustrated when they don’t realize the changes they desire.   Einstein is right – doing the same thing over and over and expecting the result to be different is insanity. Imagine typing 2 + 2 into your calculator over and over and over and over again. Do you think it would magically equal 6 at some point? Of course not,
that would be insane! But that is what many of us do in our lives. We want a different result – but we don’t modify our actions or our attitude. We might want a more fulfilling relationship, but we don’t change how we communicate. We might want a more rewarding career, but we don’t change our efforts. We might want to be healthier, but we don’t change our unhealthy routines. To think we will reach the desired outcome without “doing some work” and “changing our approach” is insanity.   We have to learn to think of change and personal-evolvement as fun! It is a chance to think outside the box, try new things, live a richer life, ask good questions, and discover new truths.   Your Turn:
Where in your life have you been desiring change without modifying your action or attitude? Pick one area and make a behavior modification that you can stick with.   Your Affirmation:
Change is the chance to challenge and improve my life.
