Regardless of our age, we all need to change. Depending on your stage of life, it may not be a monumental shift of philosophy or personal habits. There are (seemingly) minor shifts we can work towards that will make us better people. If we (foolishly) believe that we are fine just the way we are, we are really only deceiving ourselves and making things difficult on people around us. If we are considering personal change we need to answer a few questions:- Do you really want to change? If this isn't a true personal desire then nothing will every happen.
- Can you identify what needs to be changed? This requires a level of self-awareness that is difficult for most people to grasp.
- Who do you trust enough to be part of this process? We need people who care about our future enough to speak the truth in love and hold us accountable.
- Can you articulate what it is you are working towards? Being able to clearly define the shift we want to make means that we can move forward in a specific direction. Not having this only leads to confusion and frustration.
- Do we recognize that this is a life-long process? We either continue to grow or we will die.
Change is not an easy process, but the results are worth our efforts if we genuinely want to be a better person.
