The secret of everlasting change is to focus on daily actions that you can take in the present moment and to reel your mind back in from living in the past or the future.
How can we do this?
Change doesn't come easy. In fact, true long-lasting change comes at a price of devoting your entire life to taking daily steps. While we can make small changes on the spot, to make significant tectonic shifts in your life you will have to employ a completely different set of tactics than you used before.
If you let your mind wander around in the past you will be stuck forever and if you let it travel into the future too often it will never come back. Both the past and the future can be equally as dangerous in keeping your mind out of the present moment. While it's fun to go there in our minds, we have to reel them back in time after time to be able to act right now.
Change isn't easy. In fact, change is incredibly difficult. To prove my point, did you know that 92% of people who make New Years Resolutions fail in accomplishing them? That number is astronomical. That number is so big that it makes you really want to ask the question "What in the world is broken with that type of thinking?"
So how can we change this?
The plan for change is not as hard as you would imagine. In fact, it's incredible easy. Ready? Decide that you are going to focus on one thing a day to improve your life and do it. Elevate one aspect of your life every single day and you wouldn't believe what could happen to your life over the course of a year, two years, five years and so on.
Start the journey of change right now, one step at a time.
Do it right now.
