Want To Be Different, Then Do Something Different

Things you can aspire to do:

• – Run a marathon (even a half marathon would count)
• – Read the Bible in a year
• – Quit your job and start your own business
• – Drink your coffee black

It seems like we are always waiting for something or someone to give us the big break we want.  We live in a society that is fast paced and we hate waiting. We are in a hurry and want friendly and fast service.

Change will only come when we do something different. Want a different outcome? Do something different than you’ve already been doing.  You want 2014 to be different than 2013? Then you are going to have to do SOMETHING different.

That is challenging. I know.  It’s a matter of getting out of your comfort zone.  Are you ready? Are you tired of year after year of the same stuff?  Same problems. Same emotional difficulties. Same job. Same financial problems? Same relationship problems.

Well, do something different! Stop complaining. Stop blaming your past, your parents, your boss, your partner, etc. Stop blaming all together.  You are responsible for your emotions and your life. Take control of it once and for all.

Are you ready for change? What do you want to see different?  

I can relate to sitting on my butt and thinking God would drop blessings into my lap because of good behavior. It didn’t happen.

I’ve learned the past few years to bust my butt to actually get something out of life, whether it’s in a career, relationship, or any area. Work equals change and success.

So if you want change for this year, do something different. Don’t sit there and tell me that this year you want this and that and don’t plan to do anything different.  Maybe this seems harsh to you. Good. I want it to be matter of fact.

Nothing of great value comes without great effort. 

We have to be the change. Ghandi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”  That means get off your butt and do something different. You can transform your life and transform others as a result.

Begin today.
