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 you do this?
I am not talking about the type of change that lasts for just a few months and then we go back to the same stuff we always used to do. No, I am talking about that everlasting change that permits us to move onward with our lives and leave our old ways behind. This is the true change that will last forever. The secret is to commit everything you have in your life to building what you can in the present moment.
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.
The journey towards making long-lasting changes in your life isn't a simple and straight path. It's incredibly windy and it will take everything you have to commit to it. True transformations will challenge you, ask the best from you, and if you are anything short of 100% committed to your life they won't happen. Maybe that's why a vast majority of the New Years Resolutions fail?
So what can we do?
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.
Change one day at a time. Change for the rest of your life.
Don't wait.
