OTHER SIDE OF THIS COIN

Sunday Sept. 30, 2108

“Be the change you want to see in the world” – M. Ghandi

How does this manifest?

Changing this world is wonderful, noble – many of us might enjoy work/joy of doing just that. For most of us, we need more focus upon: what about change we need to see in our mirror?

Is it simply check-lists, mind-mapping, inspiring quotes pinned up, daily affirmations, ritualizing desired behavior changes? Or more complicated than that?

This is both ‘more complicated’ and ‘extremely simple’. Easy to reschedule a day, or every day, but not easy to re-order our habits. This requires surface and deeper changes – more like surgery, then puting parts back in different places.

When changes take effect, life IS really altered.

Anything short of that, like rearranging deck chairs without regard to which boat you’re steering, is completely superficial.

Reader feedback:

SENSE OF PURPOSE

Having a purpose, a "Why" is the most important thing for everyone to have. Problem is some can’t find it, or don't know how to achieve it. There is an old saying: There is 2 important lessons to remember. The day you were born, and the day you find out why. In there, you will find your purpose. Great message today Mark, MJ, Calgary, AB
