Change........ How Does it Work?

A New Year and the first thing we all want to do is change things for the better. That is a wonderful idea but how do we want things to change? 

The funny thing about we humans is we want everyone and everything around us to be better and to change to suit us but is that really the answer?

• We have people in our lives that we have tried to change for so long and it isn't happening.
• We have circumstances that we are unhappy with and want to be different.
• We live in a world of great chaos at times that is upsetting.

How do we change things for the better?

We start with ourselves first. 

• How are we seeing all of these situations and people? 
• How are we reacting to them?
• What would the solution be to the situations we are in and the people we are involved with?
• How do we see and talk about the world?

If we are always expecting people to think the way we do......to want the same things......to be in line with our joy and beliefs then of course we will be unhappy because here is the kicker they have and are entitled to have their own thoughts and beliefs on their own journey. If we are trying to control how they think and feel shame on us.

It is a matter of how much we want to be with or around these people.......how much joy we want to feel......how much we are willing to change a hard stance and to see them not as an adversary but as someone with different ideas and thoughts. If we can except them the way they are and meld with their ideas and thoughts without changing who we are it makes life so much more beautiful. This is change from within.

The solution to that is if you cannot it is time to recognize it and go a different direction. It is for our greater good that we don't keep thinking the same thing over and over with our thoughts about someone and expect that they do what we want them to do instead of be who they are. This is change from within.

The same thing really applies to any situation in life. Are you miserable and keep thinking miserable thoughts or are you willing to look at your situation and see it in a better light? If you can't then how can you leave this situation...... what are your options when you try to reason it out? They are truly there if you let go of the negative of I can't or it won't work to seeing life doing something else. This is change from within.

As far as the world goes I would say this......there are many more good people than bad.......there is so much more joy than sorrow.......we must concentrate on making it even better with being kind to one another and caring about our fellow man. Look for the good in people always. Be happy with the fact that we have a beautiful world to live in. This is change from within.

Change is a good thing it keeps us focusing on a better way.......a better life......better relationships and circumstances. But change must come from within. The way we look at others ........our situations.....the world. Be a brighter human being by either trying not to control others.......by leaving any circumstance that isn't working out for you.......by seeing the world in a better light. Change is seeing things differently .........it is the willingness to either accept or move on in so many areas of our lives. This is change from within.

These can help you change this New Year into one of the best you have every known.

Many Blessing to All
