No one says you have to be the same person you were yesterday. No one says you have to be the same person you were just five minutes ago. Changing is a choice. The choices you make can shift your paradigm and although you remain in the same environment among the same people, you can be a different person and therefore have an entirely different experience than before.
If you choose to be happy, you will notice the distinction in how you deal with unhappy people. Moreover, they will notice it too.
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” – Paulo Coelho
If you choose to live your life looking through the windshield rather than the rear view mirror, you will notice new opportunities and encounter new people that will yield new experiences.
You have to be the catalyst of the change. It must start inside. It must start with you.
Like ripples in water a single simple choice undulates and echoes throughout the universe. Not only does a simple choice affect you, but those around you in inconceivable ways. If you choose to say hello to someone versus just walking past them can possibly make or break their day setting off a social butterfly effect.
The most difficult part of the process is simply making the choice.
“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
