Change as a way of life

”You are where your actions and choices have taken you.”

This means that every minor or major decision you make will somehow affect your future ---- whether this be your choice of school, friends, husband/wife, job or public official Or whether you binge on junk food, sex or drugs.

I have the feeling that everyone knows this universal law of cause and effect; some just do not want to be responsible for their own lives. They blame just about everyone for their pathetic situation - God, family, society, government etc. except themselves. You meet these people all the time..they are what you call emotional and financial suckers.

I’m bringing up this topic because I’ve just met one emotional sucker today, Yep the one who rants on and on about how life can be so unfair, as if life has the power to control people's actions.

You can say they are their own worst enemy… those who seem to be enslaved by their vices, those who can’t seem to break a destructive habit. But what is habit anyway but action that is repeated or rather mindlessly done.

Why can’t many people make a habit of continuous improvement ? Doing minor aspects of their life differently and try to see if it works better for them. I haven’t yet met anyone who has embraced change … positive change as a way of life. I’m not talking here of earth moving, revolutionary change but just minor modifications in behavior or appearance.

Who knows, these tiny everyday alterations or modifications could in the end change us for the better, in turn affect the attitude of our family or society towards us and, if luck would have it, contribute to world peace.

Just a thought.
