When I search for quotes for my blog, there are certain ones that seem to give me a lasting impact. Like I have shared, “One day or Day One, you decide” or “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just the first step”. But one that has been stuck with me lately is, “For things to change, you have to change.” Last week I talked about deciding this is the time to make a change. But what if you don’t see a reason to make a change, or you have a friend or family member that doesn’t want to …
I was told once that I had to be uncomfortable to make a change in my situation. This got me to think…more. Think about parts of your life that you wish could change.

There was an underlying message, though. No change comes without a choice. Even not changing is a choice. No change will occur unless you, and only you choose to want a change. “I should …
Something is burning inside ready to break free. A need. Need to prove, to show that accomplishment. A desire. One so strong that nothing can hold it back. It pushes and guides through tough terrain and dodges obstacles just to get to the finish line. Hungry for power and acceptance. It is a drive worth like no other.
