Time for a Change?
Let’s be honest. Change for the better might be something we all want to happen – but it’s rarely comfortable or painless. That’s why we prefer to talk about change but rarely do what’s necessary to make it a reality. Most of the time, we make changes to our external environment or circumstances without facing the more challenging conditions of our internal landscape. The real changes, the significant shifts in the fabric of our lives, are the ones we need to make within our hearts. Does that make sense?
The famous adage that insanity can be defined as the repetition of the same actions whilst expecting a different result should also apply to our thoughts and feelings. If you keep thinking the same thoughts and feeling the same old, familiar emotions, you’re going to impose the same old layer of interpretation on everything you experience.
If you really want to break free from your limitations, the most powerful catalyst for change is within your mental and emotional energy levels. A brighter, happier, more positive outlook with brighter, happier, more positive expectations can open up your perception to all the opportunities that you’ve ignored, dismissed or simply overlooked. We are only conscious of a tiny fraction of all the date that flows around us. Adjusting your filters to scan for highly-relevant and positive information will open your awareness to the extraordinary possibilities that will help you to grow, develop and introduce the changes that will serve your best interests. This change in awareness is often perceived as a miracle but it’s a perfectly natural phenomenon: it’s simply an adjustment in the brain’s data filtration system. The information was always there. You’ve just become aware of its existence.
In conclusion, take a long look at where you are right now and consider how you feel about your situation. What needs to change? Apart from your circumstances, what do you need to adjust in terms of your attitude, your thoughts and feelings? Our hearts are our compass. When the change takes place within the domain of our hearts, our lives will follow the direction chosen by our inner compass. This is the secret of how we really function as human beings and the great key to making positive changes in any area of our lives.
