Stand Up and Do Something

      Today I talked about participation. It is said that, "The meek shall inherit the Earth." and I said while the meek are waiting to inherit the Earth the Bold are going out and taking what they want. I don't mean go out and knock over a liquor store if you want some booze or rob a bank if you need money. What I'm saying is this, If you want changes in your life then YOU have to make those changes.
      Nothing ever gets done if there isn't someone to do it. As obvious as that seems, many people miss this key point in life.Sometimes we don't want to change but are affected by outside forces. This is the easy kind of changes. There is an external motivator. The hard changes are the ones where the driving force must come from within.
      Example: If a doctor says you have heart disease and have to quit smoking or you will die in six months.That change can come pretty easy. But for someone to say to themselves, I have to quit smoking or I may develop heart disease, the change is difficult. Because they don't have heart disease now, they feel the odds are in their favor when, in fact, they are not.
      This is one example, there are thousands of other examples. I don't think I need to go on with a list. Everyone knows what changes they want and what changes they need, they just don't get up and make the change. This is my point, become active. If you don't like things change them, now. Don't wait.Get a self help book if you need one to find motivation. Whatever it takes, do it.

Thanks for your time,
Steven
