Change is a tough proposition.

Psychologists say we are starting to get set in our ways by the time we are three and that environmental and family influences are critical to who we become.

Change is possible.

See the goal vividly in your mind’s eye in 3D, full color and surround sound if that is even possible – but the idea is see the change you want to make in an unforgettable way.

Have a plan – work the plan – expect no miracles just good determined effort to get to your goal.

Use discouragement as a motivation to focus harder.

Rumi, a 13^th century Persian poet put it like this:

“Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself.”

Change doesn’t mean you want to be a different person – just a better one.
