We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are. — Max Depree

Have you noticed a trend yet with this week’s quotes?  They’ve all been about change in one way or another.  Why?  Because I need to make some changes and this blog is for me as well as for everybody else.  Don’t be stagnant is what today is all about  How can you change if you stay in the same place doing the same things over and over again?

The short, sweet and easy answer is you can’t.  How can you expect change to happen if you are staying the same?  If I keep eating chips and fries, and not exercising, how can I expect to lose any weight.  And if I don’t actually write, how am I ever going to get my book published.  I’m not.  If I want change to happen, and if you want change to happen, we have to do things differently.

Changes don’t have to be huge or all encompassing.  Start small.  Do one thing different, and see how that works for you.  I think the reason that a lot of us stay stagnant is because we’re afraid.  At least I am.  I’ll admit it.  Change is scary, and with change comes the potential for failure, and that’s even scarier.  That is why you need to start small. Make a small change and see how it goes, but whatever you do, don’t be stagnant.
