You are changing every moment of your life, whether you like it or not. But purposeful change is different. You can choose to change something – or everything – in your life.
A wise gentleman once said to me that in all situations, you always have a choice. You just have to decide whether you can live with the consequences of that choice.
Whether you embrace, reject, pursue or ignore change in your life is a choice.
In moments of crisis in your life, the need to change often becomes pressing. Circumstances will likely force you into making the decision to change something – or everything – about your life, just so that you can go on. While such change can be difficult in the moment, it will often seem like the best thing that could have happened to you, when things at last settle down enough to allow you to reflect on them.
But you don’t have to be in the midst of a personal crisis to change something or everything about your life.

One simple way to embrace purposeful change is to alter your perception of change. There is huge value in changing your view of something you believe you just cannot do to something you haven’t done yet.
Once you embark on the path of purposeful change, momentum will build behind you. Good habits will beget good consequences. You might well find yourself asking yourself why you ever feared embarking down the path of purposeful change.
What change do you most want to make? What’s to stop you from making a starting on that change today?
You can make purposeful change, if you want to and/or need to. You will more than likely thank yourself in the end for making a purposeful change. You can do it.
Knowing that you can change is the first step.
May you be nothing but kind today, to others and to yourself.
May today be nothing but kind to you and yours.
