The power of change…do you have what it takes?

Change takes place in our lives when we began to change how we think. More individuals live a life of broken promises, missed opportunities, shattered dreams and disappointment because they fail to change their mindset. It’s like looking into a mirror and trying to escape the image. No matter how many attempts a person makes to out-maneuver their image, it is impossible to escape. Just as impossible, is changing your circumstances or destiny without changing the way you think. “Stinking thinking” promotes failure, excuses and regrets.

George Washington Carver said, “No individual has any right to come into this world and go out without leaving behind him distinct and legitimate reasons for having passed through it.”

What will your legacy be?  Without change, you may never know.  Here are some keys to becoming a person willing to change:

Create: a new mindset
Humility: be humble and remain teachable
Aware: be aware of how their decisions impact your life and others’
Never: never settle for mediocrity; strive for excellence.
Giving: understand that selfishness is not a healthy way of life; use wisdom and don’t be afraid to give of yourself
Endurance: understand that change takes commitment over a period of time; it will not happen over night; or just because you want it to
