Change

"You will never change your life until you change something you do daily."
Mike Murdock

Do you wish you could change your life? Maybe you even have a clear specific idea of what you want your life to change into. If so, you have got further than most people ever do. You've established a goal. But unfortunately establishing a goal is not sufficient to really change your life. You must also take action towards your goal.

Very few people have thought out an action plan for themselves to take to move towards their goal. Yet even this, though necessary, is still not enough. Where almost everyone fails is in the inability to consistently follow through on their action plan. They get too busy with other things that seem more urgent, or they run into an obstacle and then quit. They tell themselves that it will only be for a little while, but it soon becomes permanent. And so they fail.

In order to change your life, you must change your habits. You must take action towards your goals every single day, maybe many times a day. There are two ways that you can accomplish this.

First of all, you need to have some support system in place. If your goal is to get up early and go to the gym, perhaps you could have your gym clothes all ready in clear view when you get up, and buy an alarm to make sure you get up in time. The second thing is that you need some kind of accountability. A coach or mentor is ideal, but if that's impossible, at least study some person you admire and see how they coped with their problems. When you have a clear goal, an action plan, a support system, and accountability, you can really change your life.
