** LIFE' DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN, TAKE CONTROL by Graham White **
----------------------------------------------------
I used to own a
restaurant. In observing my staff, I noticed that they often didn't see
the correlation between their habits and the resulting consequences.
One girl is late virtually every day. I confronted her in the attempt to get
her to be on time for her last three shifts before she moved. She immediately
defended being late with an explanation about an important phone call just
before she was going to leave.
Her reality literally was that she would be on time if only "Life would
stop happening to her!"
After struggling to find the level of personal, professional and financial
comfort I desired, I began to take a thorough look at how my habits were
creating the life I had.
It is very challenging to look openly at the weaknesses in our personalities,
to recognize them, admit their reality and then create a plan of action to
move ourselves from where we are to where we want to be.
Before we can grow, we must be able to see what is holding use back and be
willing to work at changing it. The challenging part is that we won't change
what doesn't hurt or do something we can't see benefiting us.
Real change takes time and is difficult. We need to reinforce ourselves by
writing down the positive LONG TERM results we will experience from our new
habits as well as the pain we will suffer if we don't manage to change
Accountability and support are necessary in the success process. Take
time to develop systems and relationships that support your goals.
