I just found Craig's blog this week and came across an interesting article I wanted to share. ~

What if Today's the Day?

My job means that I spend much of my life working with people who want to change something about their reality.
People who would like to be fitter, healthier, leaner, lighter, happier, wealthier, less stressed, more fulfilled.... people who want to create some kind of positive change.

I always ask them some questions:

1. Have you tried to change before?
2. What happened last time?
3. What do you really want (and why)?
4. What are you prepared to do to create that change?
5. Why will it be different this time?

But what if today was the day that we made a decision and took the action which would change our life, our reality and our destiny... forever?
Not for a day, week or month like we normally do... but for the rest of our life.

What if today was the day that we went to a Personal Development site and instead of being entertained, amused, educated or temporarily motivated we walked away from our computer with a different attitude, a fresh focus, a new resolve and a commitment to take action and address issues in our life which should, or could have, been addressed long ago?    No matter how comfortable, convenient, practical or popular that action was.

What if today was the day we realised that the way we see things is not necessarily how they are? (We don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.)
What if today was the day we began to focus on (and do something about) the things that we can change and stopped focusing on the things we can't?
(We often spend more time, effort and emotional energy on the things we can't change than we do on the things we can...)

What if today we did the things we need to do instead of the things we want to do?

What if today was the day we decided to listen more and talk less.
Judge less and understand more.
Be patient and tolerant.

If you so choose... today (this moment) can be a turning point in your life.
It can be the start of something amazing.

......or it can just be another day.
