CHANGE BEGINS WITH CHOICE
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, “The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves.” We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth.
We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives.
And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life – If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life – and it all begins with your very own power of choice.
To Your Success,

>>> email po ito s akin ng isang malapit n kaibigan:)… i say mas matalino [dahil sa kanyang determinasyon] at masikap [dahil s kanyang kaparaanan]… dati’y sabay lng kmi nyan ng-aaral ng mga subjects namin nun hayskul [math at science, etc]… subalit ngayo’y malaki n ang lamang nya s akin s akademya… [marahil magkaiba lng kmi ng daang tinahak] kumbaga sa pagluluto, magkaiba kmi ng pagkaing inihahanda…
“ If you don’t like how things are, change it!” <– dito nakatuon ang pansin ko… we know lahat ta’yo, we fear the sudden changes.. even its necessary hindi natin ginagawa [marahil nadala n tayo sa mga nauna]… Subalit lahat ng bagay ay nagbabago tungo sa ikabubuti at sa kapakinabangan ng nakararami… ang tubig: solid – upang tirahan ng mga hayop na nabubuhay lamang sa malalamig n klima; liquid – transportasyon at inumin, pandilig ng halaman; gas – upang pumailanlang at magsilbing hamog sa umaga o kaya’y ulan….
tsk, sana indi pa huli ang pagbabago – lalo pa’t sa ikaaayus at ikapapakinabang ng lahat …
