Change Your Life

Commentary by Peter Shepherd
Change Your Life
“Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won't have a title until much later.” ~ Bob Goff
Life WILL happen no matter what, but when you learn how to embrace it and welcome it, change can inspire you and motivate you to succeed in every way. Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.
“Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.” ~ Carol Burnett
All too often we find ourselves trapped in the unhappiness and bitterness of our past, which impact in turn on the here and now. If we want to make positive changes, the first step is to choose to become what we want to be. And then act on it.
Change Your Life
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” ~ George Bernard Shaw
A crystal clear vision inspires and energizes the path of least resistance to your goal. Your current abilities and possessions are irrelevant to you being able to start creating; that's where you're going and now you - with that empowering vision - have the energy to work through any barriers, and acquire any necessary skills and resources along the way.
“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change. And for things to change, YOU must change!” ~ Jim Rohn
As Libba Bray says, "Change happens one gesture one person, one moment at a time." And Alan Watts, "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."
Change Your Life
“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't.” ~ Steve Maraboli
And Rick Godwin: “One reason people resist change is because they focus on what they have to give up, instead of what they have to gain.”
“Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are to your comfort zone.” ~ Billy Cox
Great things never came from comfort zones. Though as Carl Rogers said, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
“I choose... to live by choice, not by chance; to make changes, not excuses; to be motivated, not manipulated; to be useful, not used; to excel, not compete. I choose self-esteem, not self pity. I choose to listen to my inner voice, not the random opinion of others.” ~ Isabel Bauche
Much of the time, our choice is the easy one: keep things the same. But we can change what we choose. We can choose to stop compromising, to believe in ourselves and our values, to move forward with our lives guided by our own truth. You're always one decision away from a totally different life.

Embracing Change - by Lori Radun

Let's face it. Change is hard. We are creatures of habit, and many of our behaviors were learned in childhood. Maybe those behaviors served us at one time, but eventually we will be called to change if we want some part of our life to be different. As someone who has been committed to personal growth and change for over 20 years, let me share with you five essential ingredients I've learned you must have to successfully make changes in your life.

Freedom to Change - by Peter Shepherd

To better our position, to be able to open up our space and express our true desires, we first need to come to terms with our situation. Our true nature is an expression of love and that is the quality that we need first to rediscover in our consciousness. Before we can contribute, through our consciousness, toward peace in the world we need to make peace with ourselves. Continues...

PODCAST by Peter Shepherd ~ How to Change Your Life
Here I talk about changes in your life, how to make them happen in such a way that things turn out well for you. Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change. Change is a scary word because it means stepping outside the relatively safe or comfortable space we have managed to situate ourselves in. Socrates said that the secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.
