How many times have you said to yourself or others that you want things to change in your life? That you want growth, movement, and simply put, more? We crave change and variety, but so often we don't know how or in what manner to really create that change we are looking for.
You have probably said at some point in your life that you want more love, more peace, more inspiration, more fun, more leisure time, and frequently, more money. I know I have said all of these at some point or other in my life.
It's human to want different aspects of our lives to change and to improve. After all, we are all looking for progress and forward movement.
The issue is that we often place the responsibility for these changes on everyone but ourselves. We say we want more love and we often expect someone to arrive to love us. We say we want more fun and leisure time and we think we need someone else to give us the free time or plan the fun for us. We say we want change and so, we think we need to change ourselves, our style, our personality, or something about ourselves.
What if you considered just for a moment that you don't need to change yourself? What if instead, what you needed was to change the perspective you have about yourself and others, and even about life?
I'm not saying that external changes like changing your environment, the people you surround with, or even your habits, don't help. They do!
But what will fundamentally change the way you behave long-term is changing how you see things.
Changing your reality starts by changing how you perceive your reality in the first place.
What if when you say you want love, you start recognizing all the love that is already present in your life? What if instead of looking for more love outside yourself from other people, you started embodying the love you want in your life and you started giving it to more people?

What if instead of waiting for the fun, the free time, or the inspiration to knock into your life, you start creating that fun and that inspiration you are seeking in your life instead?
What if during those moments when you feel like everything is going bad, you consider how much of a blessing it is already that you are alive?
The truth about life is that the bad will always be there for you if you look for it. But the same happens for the good. Good things, beautiful things, opportunities, partnership, love, kindness, all of that are available for you if you look for them too.
Not everything you want will appear by simply changing your perspective of things. But real, lasting change, the one most of us are looking for, starts there.
