You may have heard the saying "If you've always done what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always gotten". Anytime I hear it, I'm reminded of another saying, "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity."
Interesting thought processes, but yet how many of us go about our daily existence doing just that! We've gotten into a routine that consists of the same whos, whats, whens and wheres on a daily basis for the most part. We want things to change in our lives, but we aren't taking the necessary steps to facilitate that change. We've gotten comfortable with our surroundings and are unwilling and unable to shake things up a bit.
It doesn't always take something major to cause you to take the first steps to making a change. Sometimes it can just be something someone says or that you read or see on television. We often look for these earth shattering occurrences to tell us to make moves, but often times it's a quiet voice in our spirits that whispers to us. Don't ignore that voice! With faith and perseverance, you can and will accomplish things that may seem absolutely impossible at this point in time.
A year ago, there was no way I'd believe that I would be in the process of purchasing a home, starting a non-profit and preparing for the birth of another child. Especially that last part!!! I was comfortable in the place that I was. However, a series of events have paved the way to what I believe are going to be some awesome experiences over the next year or so.
It may be family issues, finances, a new business, a new career, going back to school, the list is endless...but it's up to you to take the first steps to making a change in your world. I believe you can and will be successful if you give it your all. Ask for help. Believe in yourself. Choose a mentor. Be determined to use the obstacles you face as building blocks and not brick walls.
Be Blessed Divas!!! And, as always, remember to be a blessing to others along the way. You never know when you may be that catalyst for change in someone's journey.
