all about change


In the big scheme of things, there's always a choice: keep things the same or make them different.

And in the bigger scheme of things, if we keep things the same, physically or energetically, how can we expect OURSELVES to be any different?

How much impact do I have in my world?
How can I be a game changer?

What can I, as a unique individual, do to make a difference.

Don't we all want to be the person who breaks through new pathways so now more people can use that pathway? First, there's a dirt path to walk on. Do you stop there, or do you try to figure out how to make the path bigger, maybe for a horse and carriage? No, let's make it even bigger for a train. Then a faster train, a bullet train.

We've got to do our work to make sure the path keeps getting better and better, to accommodate more and more people — more traffic.

The worst thing we can do is stand still. Keep the status quo. Rest on someone else's laurels. Do not coast.

What are you doing in your life to be a game changer. How have you changed your family for the better? How have you challenged your friends to think differently? How have you transformed your work environment, your industry, your community?

If we don't keep on pushing, forging new trails, constantly checking what else there is to do, we are standing still. We must find a way to stay true to the path and at the same time to be different, meaning to be more, to be progressing.

And never to coast, never to feel we're done. Never to feel I did what I came here to do, never to think we actually did anything — despite the evidence around us.

We must fear being the same, coasting along, not making our mark. Instead of being afraid of success, of failure, of commitment — let's be afraid that we haven't yet changed the game.
