The secret of change is to focus everything on creating what you can in the present, and letting yourself slip out of the past and the future.
But how can you do this?
Change doesn't come easy. In fact, true long-lasting change comes at a price of devoting your entire life to taking daily steps. While we can make small changes on the spot, to make significant tectonic shifts in your life you will have to employ a completely different set of tactics than you used before.
The past and the future can be equally dangerous in keeping your mind out of the present moment. In fact, while most people consider the past to be more negative and the future to be more positive, there isn't really isn't much difference between them except for the fact that one has passed. Both are destructive if they keep your head out of what's going on right now.
Change isn't easy. In fact, change is incredibly difficult. To prove my point, did you know that 92% of people who make New Years Resolutions fail in accomplishing them? That number is astronomical. That number is so big that it makes you really want to ask the question "What in the world is broken with that type of thinking?"
So what can we do?
When it comes down to it, it's actually pretty simple. Focus on one thing, every day, to make yourself a little bit better compared to the day before and do that for as long as you can. Don't get obsessive about the quantum leap where everything changes all at once - it is a lie. That's a "New Years Resolution" way of thinking. Instead, focus on the daily tasks you can perform and over a period of time you will change more than you could really ever imagine.
Change one day at a time. Change for the rest of your life.
Do it now.
