One of the key to successful living is change. Personal Change reflects our inner growth and empowerment. The constant change in our life speaks of our continuous maturity and effectiveness. Everyone says it, yet only a few actually know what it means…

“Change is the only
constant thing in this world”
There is no
way for you to move to better positions and altitudes in life if you are still
living on old ideas and old resolutions that you still think world for you. It
takes change to see the difference you want to see in the world. A man once
said, “There is nothing as good as an idea whose time has come. And there is
nothing worse than a man living in old ideas.”
It is very
true. The main reason most people are sometimes laid off in life is not that
they have become incapacitated but that they are no longer bringing new and
better input. Everything in life becomes boring and inconsistent once we rule
out continuous change in our personal lives. Did you know that the only way to
see change in other people is to become the change you want to see? Mahatma Gandhi
said it right, “be the change you want to see.”
Keep talking
and complaining, and winning about everything that is wrong in your life or in
other people’s life, that just what you are going to get in return! You don’t
make a difference in your life by complaining, you make a difference by
initiating the willingness to see the change you need. Sometimes, do you know
it not about the way people treat, but it about the way you receive their
treatment.
No matter
how hard someone is correcting you, or how well they are trying to do it, if
you do not see the need to make a difference, their words or method of trying
to see that you change will only always be an annoyance to you. Be the change
you need to see means, Being the change you want to see means, be willing to
see the need for change and that the change must start with you! If you want to
change anyone, look into the mirror and you will see who really needs to change.
There are some things I have learn about personal change in life, being someone
who talks to people on daily basis to see them make a difference. And am going
to share some of them with you.
1. Be The Change You Want To See:
Just as I
said before, “Being the change you want to see means, be willing to see the
need for change and that the change must start with you.” it takes willingness
to change. I have found out that no matter how much people see something wrong
about your life or no matter how people want to see you improve to better
heights, it can’t be ever possible except you see the need to. Be the change
you need to see.
Possess the
willingness, the desire; for that’s that only way you can change yourself or
anyone. If you are always waiting for someone to tell you that you need to
change, or that you should start change with yourself if you must see others change,
you are really going to have to wait a long time. On the other hand, you could
just heir and expert in life, one who knows just how to do life analysis to
help you with pointing out just how much change you need. But I tell you the
truth, even with that, it still takes your own self will to make a change in
your life.
Be the
change you want to see in your relationship, be the change you want to see in
your marriage, be the change you want to see in your office, be the change you
want to see in your social life, be the change you want to see everywhere in the world! Carry the
willingness to make adjustment with you. Become a man if the season.

Don’t Resist Being Changed:
The need to
change always produces fear because of uncertainty. Many times, people who
should make a difference in their life simple cannot do it because they are
uncertain of how their life will become. They are afraid of the way their life will
become when they have actually become who they should actually be. So they become
resistant to change. They hate anyone who talks about them changing.
No matter
how much you try to make it pleasant so that they can see the need for the
change in their life, they will only become see how bad you are saying it and
how a perfectionist you are, eventually, they become more and more terrible.
Why? They are resistant to change. If you want to know someone who will never
change, look for someone who only gets angry whenever the need for change is
spoken about.
Making a
huge turn around in your life means, you have to really learn to embrace
change. Not with anger or resentment, but with openness of heart. If you desire
constant success in life and in everthing, you must change your conduct with
the times and season. There is every need to make change an important lecturer
in your life. No matter how horrible it is, or how terrible it has to be,
change must become a necessary part of your everyday life.
3.
See The Positive Side Of Correction
And Criticism:
Do you find
people are always saying, “why are you always trying to act as if you are better than I am and that you can’t
make the same mistakes?”, this are people who are very resistant to change. The
never see the positive side of correction. They are always thinking that the
reason they are being corrected or scolded is that those who are trying to do
are proving a point. “I am better than you are, that why am correcting you.”
but this is not so, this is only a thought they bear in their mind.
When someone
is trying to make you see they need for change, he/she is not trying to tell
you they better than you. And they are not trying to tell you they hate or
dislike you. They only want what’s best for you. They believe there is
something more within you that you are not seeing. And they are just trying to
help you see it. They CANNOT change you,
no matter how hard or strict they want to be. The only thing they can do is
create enmity and strive between you and them. If you really want to see just
how best you life can be, you must learn to see the positive side of correction
and criticism.
