Imagine that there are two versions of yourself, the you who lives with the status quo, and the you who embraces change.  The you who lives with the status quo keeps doing what you’ve always done.  You choose the known over the unknown.  The easy over the difficult.  You choose today’s comfort over tomorrow’s growth.

Then, there is the you who embraces change. You execute on the your plans.  You strive to be the best version of yourself.  You accomplish more than you ever image you could in your lifetime.

As of today, either of these futures can be yours. All that lies between the two… change.

You’re desire to change has to be greater than your comfort in your current situation. You have to start by keeping the promises you make to yourself. For me, it starts right before I go to bed.  I set my alarm, a promise to my future self that I will get up. Breaking this first promise starts the day off poorly.

It doesn’t take massive change to have massive results. It is all of the small choices throughout the day that have huge impact over time. The decision for change happens in the moment, the results lag behind. It only takes a moment to decide you’re going to workout instead of watching Netflix. It takes less than a second to decide to smile instead of complain. Consistently choosing the action that leads to your desired results will eventually become easier, as they are no longer unknown.
