Let’s assume you have this recurring problem, you have talked to variety of resources among your support system (spouse, siblings, friends, coworkers, etc) but nothing seems to change. Every time you turn around *BAM* the problem is there again. Your support system has given you things to say and things to do, or ways to act/react. Nothing appears to resolve the matter. Perhaps, the problem stays the same because you have stayed the same. Is it possible, the problem could be how you perceive it, dwell on it, or expect it to be different?
When determining whether to heed advice or ignore it, remember you always have the power of choice in all situations. Whatever you decide today, in this moment, is the right thing for you to decide. However, it is ok to decide a different direction tomorrow. Circumstances and beliefs change and so can your direction, as well as how you see your problem. You can choose the attitude with which you will go through the situation at hand.
Go the extra distance in situations that really matter to you. This is a good time to make a strong, positive effort – make a change be the change!
What are you willing to do? How far are you willing to go to be happy, make a difference, or for your future? Are you willing to take a chance? Does fear hold you back? Can you afford to take a risk? Can you afford not to?
