Book Cover & Preview Text
Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life. —Herbert Otto Life is a series of changes that lead us on a journey of becoming. The path that we take is based on our choices. Our choices determine our levels of happiness, and our process is often one of self-discovery and growth. Aristotle said that we are what we frequently do. If we do the same things repeatedly that make us miserable or unhappy, then that is what we are. If we spend our time doing loving and joyous activities, then that is what we are. Think about which category you fall into—miserable and unhappy or loving and joyous. Which category do you want to be living in? Would you be willing to try an experiment in your life to live in the category that you prefer? What would it take for you to change and grow? Time? Money? Support? Think about it! Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. (Mark Twain) Your challenge this week is to make a list of what you need to make the growth you want in your life. • Step one. If you need more time, how will you make that happen? • Step two. If you need money, make a plan to get it. A second job? A cut in expenses? • Step three. Everyone needs support. Call or text or email two people and ask for their support. Be specific! Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. (Ronald Osborn) To your transformation!
