Anything can happen today and everything can happen.
You can have a long list of reasons why you aren’t doing well to explain to others so you don’t look bad. You can blame the government, you can blame taxes, blame the weather, blame the traffic, blame the manufacturers, blame the company, blame the training program, blame the economy, blame the community. That’s a pretty good list for why you’re not doing well, isn’t it?
But there is one problem with that list – you aren’t on it.
It’s not what happens that determines the quality or the quantity of your life. What happens, happens to about everybody, no different. The sun goes down on all of us.
The same things can happen to two different people – one gets rich and one stay poor. It’s because it’s not what happens but rather it’s what you do that changes everything.
Have you heard of Murphy’s laws? Murphy had these laws and one of them was if anything can go wrong it will.
Everything can happen, anything can happen. But it’s not the happenings, it’s what you do about it.
Somebody says “yeah, but you don’t understand the disappointments I’ve had”. Well, everybody’s had their share! Disappointments are not special gifts reserved for a few, everybody has them. The difference is what you do about it. You can blame the weather but it rains on everybody.
Two men wake up one morning and there’s a rainstorm. One looked out his window, sees the rainstorm and says “Wow! what a storm. With a weather like this, they can’t expect you to go out and make sales. He stays home. Same morning, the other guy looks out of his window, sees the same storm and says “Wow! what a storm”. But he says “You know what – with weather like this, what a great day to go out and make sales. Everybody will probably be home, especially the salesman”.
That’s the difference in how your life works out. It’s not what happens, it’s what you do.
So here’s one of the key – Starting tomorrow, what are you going to do that’ll make a change in your life. Ask yourself, what are you going to do starting tomorrow that will make a difference? If you don’t do something starting tomorrow, that’ll make a difference and guess what it’s going to be – the same.
The next five years are going to be like the last five unless you make your change tomorrow. Change it all or change a little or change something or don’t change – its a choice.
You can do whatever you want but it’s nice to know that any day you wish, you can change your whole life. What can you do starting tomorrow that’ll make a difference?
What can you do with economic chaos?
What can you do with a broken heart?
What can you do if it doesn’t work?
It’s a good question.
You can change if you don’t like how it is for you.
Change it if it doesn’t suit you.
Change it if it doesn’t please you.
Change it if it isn’t enough.
Change it because you can change. You don’t ever have to be the same again after tonight – only by choice.
