THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE IS CHANGE

change is constant. your physical body changes on a minute,day by day, mouth,year by year,basis.you know that you CAN exert considerable control over that,by, smoking or not smoking, exercising or not exercising, the foods you eat,and so on.some peoplee choose to do certain things deliberately,to conntrol their weight, get and stay fit, and stay healthy. other do not. but everybody changes phsically.

changes happens in every other aspect of living too,for everybody. marriage,divorce,kids.get a job,lose a job,buy a home,move,get older. learn something new.education.the list of changes is endless.you just cannot escape constant change. but you can make it work for you or let it work against you.

you see, the biggest difference between farm animals and haman beings is that we have the power of choice. the ability to make choices and decisions. of all the creatures on earth, only human beings have been given this power.will you use your power. will you use your power or ignore it?it may be time to stop "going with the flow"

WHAT REALLY LEADS TO SUCCESS in the 21st century

for starters,let's agree that we can disagree about what "success" is.it certainly means different things to different people.for one person,"success"may pop up pictures of a rolls royce,a yacht,a fancy house,may be a business of your own,or all those things.for somebody else,just the thought of having to put on business attire and go am office everyday is frightening.for others no point in trying to force fit any one idea of success onto you.
However,we may be able to agree more easily no the opposites of success,on what we do NOT want our lives to become.for example,consider these checklist items:
-not having enough money to pay debts
-living payday to payday
-no money to save,invest,buy a house or land
-frustration at seeing others get ahead faster than you do
-stuck in a dead-end job
-passed over for wage increases or promotions
-lack of job security
-embarrassment when visiting your relatives
-worry about the future in general
-desire to do better but not sure what to do,what steps to take
-lack of education or know-how about computers or other "technology"that may be coming into your workplace

do any of there apply to you?chances are,at least several do,just as they do to millions of others,especially men and women in the 19 to 30 age group.in fact most people go through their entire adult lives never solving any of these issues.they get stuck just "going with the flow"
what we'd like to do here, in the beginning of this post is to challenge you to take a completely fresh look at where you are,where you COULD go in life,where you'd like to go in life,and how you can take control of that process.
