Change What You Can Change
They always say time changes things, but you
actually have to
change them yourself.
Change is permanent and we cannot
stop it. We need to adapt ourselves to
the changes. It is not easy to change. We should be intelligent enough to know
what to change and what not to change.
Read the following five different
types of change:
1.
Things which you think you cannot change and you
cannot change;
2.
Things which you think you cannot change, but you
can change;
3.
Things which you think can change but you cannot;
4.
Things which you think you can change, but you
don’t;
5.
Things which you think you can change and you
change.
Your opportunity lies in areas
which you can change, but you don’t want to change. Great people have
succeeded in this area only. Identify and work on at least five things under
your control to change but you are not taking efforts. For example: I can reduce my excess weight, but, I don’t
want to exercise; I can learn a new language, but I don’t want to cut down my
TV watching and study every day thirty minutes.
Do this exercise
for a month consistently and notice what happens to the quality of your life!
