Don't let others change your life, be your own change agent and implement the changes you want! And if an unexpected change occurs in your life, find the positive in it.
Change the World
When you exercise and eat right, you feel better. When you feel better, you're able to do more. When you do more, you usually end up doing it with other people. This lifestyle shift gives us the energy to be better people. Have the desire to improve your live NOW! Choosing to help yourself can change and save the lives of others as well.
When you feel good, you act very differently than when you feel bad. The people around you don't have to be told what kind of mood you're in. Your actions will have enough energy to affect everyone you come in contact with. You become what you eat and what you do! If you choose to devote your time and energy to a healthy life style with wisdom and courage, you become a beacon of energy so powerful, you could change the lives of people around you. I believe you have a choice to go through life for three different reasons, each one dramatically more powerful than the next: 1) To Feel Good; 2) To Be Good; and 3) To Do Good.
1. To Feel Good about our health and our appearance affects our state of mind. The reason so many people reach for cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, food, and sex is because for a short while they'll feel good and alter their state of mind. The problem with this behavior is that people end up trying to solve long-term problems with short-term pleasures.
2. To Be Good is a different approach because it focuses on ways to maintain this NEW healthy lifestyle. People who want to Be Good search for mantras, affirmations, and other techniques to keep the ball rolling. The vain and aesthetic aspects of exercise don't play as much of a role either. The Be Good state of mind works very well for some, but to achieve the greatest selfless level of all you must Do Good.
3. To Do Good is about taking the focus off yourself and beginning to put the focus on people who need your help. The gift of giving is the greatest gift to receive. The people I know who practice this on a daily basis are the most well-rounded, content, empathetic, wise, and happy people I've ever met. It's also important to recognize when friends and family aren't ready to change. The worst kind of advice to give is the kind that was never asked for.
It's said that about 3 percent of the people on Earth live in bliss. What the hell are the other 97 percent of us doing? We're spending too much time on ME, ME, ME!
I honestly believe that the key to success comes to people who figure out that when you share your experience, your wisdom, your love, and your truth, you begin to know what it's like to live in that 3 percent.
Find what you love. Do it. And share it with others. Welcome to bliss! Everyone can think of the one thing that would make life better for them. But people are not so quick to answer the second question: What are you doing to make that change come true.
