Choose to Change—Today
Filed Under The Winner Within |
As early as childhood we are trained in life to get it done soon. “When will I get my new bike dad?” “Soon, son.”
This type of conditioning has permeated our adult lives and affects how we choose to handle the prospect of change. I will start that new action step “soon”.
As we know from childhood, the notion of soon really means that it’s not likely to happen. Here is what we all have that is unique to the human species: the ability to choose. We can choose to put off doing what we know will move our lives forward and file it in the “soon” category, or we can act upon it when the emotion strikes.
Whether it is the prospect of losing weight, taking a new course, spending more time with our family or learning a new skill, switching our decision making mind-set from “soon” to “now” can have a greater impact on your life than almost anything else.
