The 21st century has brought on a whole new set of challenges for many of us, bringing the infamous how to change your life topic to new and unexpected heights. To steal a line from one of my faves, Lewis Black; "Even a good fiction writer couldn't have come up with this."
Whatever your life is like today, it didn't get that way overnight, and it won't change overnight. All you have to do is make a commitment to do something today that will change your life today. Then, each day, recommit. Don't try to do it all at once. In fact, by taking small steps, eventually you'll reach your goal. Although it's a cliche, it really is true that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
The process of how to change your life probably will involve some sort of change or reinvention of yourself, but not from the perspective of a total revamp. Consider the following: Cut some seriously undisturbed time for yourself. Everything off... no multi-tasking.Grab a pen and paper and list, or storyboard if you will, every one of your strengths... think hard on this, I mean every one.Now, look at those already established strengths and search for connections or ideas you probably haven't thought of in the spirit of creating a new direction for yourself with those abilities that you already own.
So what's happening here? We're reinventing or reshaping who we are through this process, but actually, we're not. This potential reshape consists of reconfiguring elements of who we already are, not some fictitious character we're trying to create that has nothing to do with us. Personal testament becomes a must to clarify this point.
I'm a musician of 40 years, as well as a composer for 30 of those years. Long story short, my chosen musical idiom in these times does not offer the rewards of a comfortable life without some serious, and I mean serious sacrifice. That sacrifice was OK in terms of myself. But after becoming a single Dad, my reality, my focus began to alter. For the first time ever I was considering a potential life change. Let's see, a day job... not a chance in hell. What can I do?
Motivational material can be anything. If you read the Bible, try reading Psalms and Proverbs for 20 minutes a day. There are also many great authors available that you can read. My personal favorites are Tony Robbins, Lisa Diane, Jack Canfield, and Wallace Wattles, the author of "The Science of Getting Rich".
How to change your life can be seen in different light, you just have to put the time in and discover it, and then get CREATIVE with those discoveries. Realize those inherent gifts you already own and make them work for you in alternative life settings... or, a new career. I can't begin to tell you how many of those we've labeled geniuses have used that creative storyboard scenario to accomplish their goals. Reinvent... and not!
it takes real guts to get out there and do something different. But isn't it strange, when you do, do something diverse, the mickey takers only really give it a small space of time with laughter and mocking, then they're onto something or someone else; because they can't really afford the time to stand around pointing the finger and belly laughing someone,when deep down they truly admire them.So what are we worried about. Well we certainly don't want to jeopardize any of our hard earned possessions, and most of us are not seeking that extreme lifestyle change; which makes me think of the man who was looking for something different and swapped his mobile home for a canal boat. That was until just a day on the water when he was looking to exchange his new canal boat for dry land again.
