Guest guest Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Key to Making Personal Changes Happen by Jane “Making personal changes takes courage, planning, persistence and will.†Questions like “What do I want to accomplish?†and “What will make me happiest?†are difficult to answer. What’s even more difficult is cultivating a plan to achieve them. But, you must. Making a plan gives you direction and purpose. Take some time to decide what really matters. Brainstorm and figure out what you need to do to make things happen. No one but you can do this. If you don’t, you risk letting others make plans for you. Don’t settle for less than you are worth. Create and cultivate your goals and aspirations. Think about them, decide how you are going to achieve them, and patiently pursue them. It’s all up to you and you can do it! Take action today. Joy that is conditional is not joy at all. It is merely fleeting pleasure that will be gone the moment conditions change. Real joy is and will always be. Nothing can take it away. Real joy cannot be earned, attained or achieved. It is there when you accept it and allow it. Agreeable conditions and pleasurable circumstances are not the cause of joy. Rather, it's the other way around. When you live with joy, that joy infects the world around you. When you live each moment with joy, you see that joy reflected back to you from all directions. Let the joy of living flow forth from you, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. And see what a real, positive difference it can make. Ignite your passion Ability is about more than skill. Ability is about more than knowledge. Though skill and knowledge and experience are important, there’s something even more powerful that drives ability. It is passion. If you do not have a strong desire, fueled by passion, it doesn’t really matter how much skill you have. If you lack passion, it doesn’t matter how much experience or knowledge you have. When you are truly passionate, that brings your skills and knowledge to life. When you are truly passionate, even if you lack sufficient skills you will find a way to acquire them. Passion compels and enables you to connect with whatever is necessary to express and fulfill that passion. Passion pushes you into action, and supplies the energy for perseverance. What are the things that ignite your passion? It’s well worth your time and effort to know exactly what they are.
