Life won't change unless you change

*Your life won't change unless you change it!*

Now, of course I mean this in the way that you assume — you know I am a firm
believer in the fact that YOU are responsible and capable of changing your
life…

*BUT, I also mean it in an unexpected way…*

Here's what I realized one day and I was shocked…

Your life won't change unless you change it — and sometimes all (or some) of
the things have happened that you thought would change your life and yet you
find yourself living the same life as before…

*Let me give you an example –*

A while back I had a plan — I was working my tail off to make several
businesses take off and to justify working so hard, I focused on how my life
would change when I hit the next level and started consistently making 5
figures a month…the goal isn't what matters here, for me it wasn't about
money, it was about what I would do with the money…and we all have that
something that "When it happens we will live like this…" — You know what I'm
talking about…

I had plans of monthly massages and fun adventures and many more things…

The details don't matter — what does matter is that I KNEW that when I hit
that financial point I would finally be able to chill out and stop working
my tail off…

*Guess what happened…*

6 months after I had consistently been at that financial goal I had a huge
realization as I was running to grab some food so I could cram it in my
mouth before I ran back to my computer to work until 10 pm…

And the realization was that I had reached those goals I had and yet, my
life hadn't changed because I hadn't changed it…

*I was still living like I was before…*

And it was up to me…

I had to make myself do the things that I had put in front of myself to make
my goals exciting or else it didn't matter how much money I was making, my
life was the same…

YIKES!

*So when I say that your life won't change unless YOU change*
