If you want your life to change, one simple thing you can do is to act as though the change has already occurred. If you want to achieve something, act as though you have already gotten your desired result. If you want to possess a certain quality, act as if you already do.
Want to be happy? Act as though you are happy.
Want recharge your marriage? Remember how you felt in the early days of your relationship, and act that way again.
Want to have a job you can love? Act as though you love your current job.
Want to be more confidant? Act as though you are confident.
Acting as if you already have what you want will change your attitude to a more positive one. It will also alter how you behave toward other people and how they react to you. You will create the habits necessary to get—and be—what you want.
Acting as if is not easy. It takes practice and reinforcement. You will need to change the negative thoughts and actions that have become habits over many years. Cut yourself some slack while you are establishing new patterns, but keep acting as if and your new attitude will become a habit.
Try it—and be amazed by the results!
Do you want to be better than you are today? If the self-help section of the book store is any indication, many of us want to make changes in our lives. We want to be smarter, kinder, greener, more successful, more organized, thinner, and healthier, as well as being better parents, children, spouses, lovers, friends, and all-around human beings. Whew! That’s a lot.
To be more and achieve more, you must start by believing that change is possible. It is. You are not locked in to the life you have today.
Do not become discouraged when the changes you want do not happen overnight, or you find yourself backsliding into old, bad habits. You may take two steps forward and one step back many times, but the idea is to keep up the forward progress.
Here are ten ways in which each of us can change himself for the better. [Read more…]
I was listening to one of those radio advice shows (Yeah, I know. That was my first mistake.) and this caller was whining and crying about how bad her life is. Of course, nothing was her fault. Everything in her life just happened to her and none of it was because of choices she made. And of course there was no way to make any of it better.
This is why I would not make a good radio advice show host: My advice would have been, “You don’t like your life? Get off your ass and do something about it! And stop sniffling. Dear God, it is no wonder you do not have any friends. Would you want to be around someone like you?”
Gee, does that seem harsh? I tend not to be very understanding of people who whine and complain but never to do anything to change their situation. Want to know why? [Read more…]
