TIME FOR CHANGE

If you always do what you've always done, you will always be where you've always been.

I got this quote from a trainer at AOL.  I worked there for a few months and I remember the guy, BILL, use to say this trying to motivate people to change thier lives and work for AOL.  He said working for AOL changed his life for the better.   I don't know if he created the quote but it stuck with me.

Ask yourself where you will be five years from now.  Sure there is no real way to know this because even the best planned endeavors can go awry.  But you can guarantee that if things stay the same as they are now you will be in the same place and that may be good or bad depending on who you are.  Time flies when your having fun and it flies even faster when you have a dream that you are putting off.

Ten years go by and you look back and wonder where did they go.  Twenty years go buy and you wonder what did I do.  Thirty go buy and you don't wonder anything anymore cause you can't even remember.

If there was or is something you've always wanted to do, now is the time to do it.  Get started now.  Right away.  It doesn't have to be big but just get started.  If you've always wanted to do yoga well bend over a chair and stretch.  There you have begun. Now you can look up yoga classes and further you journey.

We can't predict the future but we can work on our lives to change them.  Life is unpredictable but living consciously and choosing a path is better than simply accepting what ever comes are our way especially if we have a choice and we do.  Choose it, live it, own it.   TO QUOTE the FONZE aka HENRY WINKLER, "Be there, wherever you are cause you want to be there."
