The Change
  • Is it internal first? Or
  • Is it external?

As we all should know, change takes place first on the inside. You have to first conceive the change in your minds eye, receive it in your heart, act upon it, then the change will show up on the external.

We have heard parables used to illustrate change. I personally like the parables used by Jesus Christ myself. Jesus liked to make things simple, He would put it to you in a way that you would understand exactly what was meant; such as planting seeds. You will reap what you sow, this is so true. Planting seeds of change in your mind is no different then as it is now, just as then we have to be careful of what we plant, how we nurture it and how we portray the change. The seeds can easily be planted, but the harvest can be bitter sweet, bitter or sweet, the choice is yours.

"It is a lesson that history teaches the wise, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lets Get Excited!

"We often think of enthusiasm as caused by an external event. However, it can be generated from within, becoming an intentional action for transforming virtually anything in our lives. Enthusiasm can take the seemingly small, dull, boring, or unimportant and turn it into something new and magnificent. Learn to strengthen the muscle of your enthusiasm, letting the tiny become great, and you will reclaim your energy and passion."
-Anat Baniel
