What Would You Change?
When talking with people about their life, or their job, or their current situation I always ask: "What one thing would you change about your life?" People always have an answer for what would make their life better. Before you read further, think about what one thing you could change in your life. The one thing that would make your life better. Okay, hold your thought. My next question to you is: "What are you doing to make that change come true?" So often people answer the first question with no problem. Everyone can think of the one thing that would make life better for them. But people are not so quick to answer the second question: "What are you doing to make that change come true." Sadly, most people take no action to change their current situation. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the motto of the Words of Wisdom 4 U website become a reality for most people. What motto? "May All Your Dreams Turn Into Goals" Take your dream, start taking action, and before you know it your dream will be a reality. It really works! I can speak from personal experience. I have had many dreams, which I turned into goals and now they are my reality. The dreams I only thought about, the ones I took no action on, well they are still dreams. But the ones that I took action on, they are now a reality. I have accomplished things in my life that I never realized I had the potential to achieve. YOU also have the potential!
