The power of change!!


Change….. Change can be a frightening experience if one is always trying to prevent it. But why try and prevent change? Change brings about new experiences, personal growth, and insights. Whether good or bad, there is something to be learned from every new curveball that is thrown at us.

But just as some are trying to prevent change, others are harnessing the benefits of small changes that can be made throughout our daily lives and can compound into something great!! So try not to get discouraged about unfortunate shortcomings because that is what they are….short.  Nothing in life goes according to plan.  A ship sent to the moon is only on course 5% of the time.  So as long as you are true to the goal (landing on the moon), the other 95% of the time spent off course may give you new ideas or a new perspective to help refine your goals. Just get back on course.

 A good way to accomplish these goals in life is to take it into your own hands because great things do not just fall in your lap! So get proactive and write down some personal and life goals you wish to reach. Whether it is losing weight, going on a vacation, bettering a personal relationship with a loved one, or starting your dream job. Write down small, attainable goals to be done daily to dial in on that bigger goal. Such as, eating smaller portions everyday, saving an allotted amount of money each paycheck, making a small comment to your loved one everyday (it’s the small things that count), or research information and logistics to starting that dream job. All of these goals can be reached with a little effort and time so lets get going!! Turn off those TV’s and lets get serious about what makes us happy! CHANGE!!!

  1. Change is a good thing and if anyone can understand that it is you and me. I mean honestly I didn't plan to come to Oklahoma, just like you didn't plan on going to Austin and leaving everything we know and love,
    Although it had turned out to be the best misfortune i can think of. You need to have goals but you don't always have to plan to achieve goals. Sometimes taking things 1 step at a time can give you a better sense of satisfaction out of life.
