If you always do what you always did, then you'll always get what you've always got! To grow, evolve, and achieve your goals with greater ease and balance than ever before...you need to make a few changes.
The first step is understanding that growth looks different for everyone! It may mean something as simple as smiling more often or saying 'I Love You' more frequently to those that matter most in your life.
Or it may mean something major such as changing jobs or even cities...As long as it's true to your heart, I believe the only thing that really matters is that you're making progress in the right direction and truly following YOUR path.
You never know the potential of your abilities.
You can’t predict how you will feel in the future. You also can't predict how other people are going to feel in the future, and that includes yourself. People change all the time, so it's important to be prepared for anything (or anyone).
You don't need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
You don't need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
You might be further along than me, but that doesn't mean your story is any better than mine or vice versa!
Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
It is important that we live in the present moment because that's all there is: right now. The past happened and cannot be changed; neither can the future exist until it becomes our current reality.
So why do so many people start living their days by thinking about what they’re going to do tomorrow? It may seem harmless enough, but this kind of thinking only perpetuates a cycle of thinking about things instead of actually doing them—it keeps us distracted from what matters most right now!

Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
Take a minute to think about what it means for you to be happy. You may think of happiness as something external, or even tangible. But is it really? If you could have anything in the world, would that make you happy? Would getting that promotion or buying that new car suddenly change how content and fulfilled your life feels?
The answer is no—and yes. It might seem contradictory at first glance, but once we take a closer look at what makes up our day-to-day happiness, we can see why this idea makes sense. Happiness isn't some far-off goal; it's right here in front of us every single day (if we choose it).
For example: When you wake up in the morning on Sunday mornings (because let's face it—who doesn't love sleeping in on Sundays?), do you become instantly unhappy because there are no alarms going off?
Or do you enjoy those few extra minutes before getting out of bed because they provide an opportunity for quiet reflection and relaxation?
Are those few moments alone with yourself as important as any other part of your day...or even more so than some parts of your day (like work)?
If you always do what you always did, then you'll always get what you've always got!
You may not know it, but you’re always growing. That said, if you don’t pay attention to yourself and how this growth is happening (or not happening), then you could be missing out on some big opportunities.
Whether or not we realize it, we all have habits that can either help or hinder our growth. When we get stuck in a rut because of our habits, those ruts become a self-fulfilling prophecy: We do what we always do because that’s what works for us now and so that becomes our normal way of doing things. This pattern can lead to stagnation—both personally and professionally—if left unchecked or unchallenged.
The good news is that just about anyone can change their habits if they choose to make the effort required! The key is being aware of your own habits first so that when you do decide to change them, you have a better idea of where and how they might manifest themselves in your life going forward
Conclusion
So I’m going to take a stand right now: we should ? All be willing to destroy our old selves. ? The things that make us great are the same things that can hold us back.
So every once in a while, we need to ???????????? and ???????????? so we can keep growing!
This is not an easy thing to do, but it’s worth it. Growing pains are real, but growth is also real—and it can be pretty amazing if you let yourself get there!

2 年I just saw a video about how we are hard wired to look for danger. It’s so hard to not complain. Great insight into “being happy”
