The Inner Work of Creating Positive Change

Contrary to a widely held belief that people do not change, I submit
to you that people do change and often in dramatic, life-altering ways.
I say this with full confidence as I have witnessed it happen time and
time again. Creating positive change in your life is totally possible.
You can change yourself and thereby your life.

It’s a Matter of Choice
When you are fully committed to making changes in your life, it will
happen. That commitment, based on a deep desire for growth, is half the
journey. Once you have made that choice, one made with total awareness
and a honesty of your present reality, you are free to move forward
towards a better or even new you.

We are Part of a Cycle of Change
The one constant in this universe is change. Everything that exists
is in a state of change. Ask any quantum physicist. As part of the
universe, we are part of that cycle of change. The experiences you have
today will impact you in such a way that you will awaken tomorrow
changed in some way. Once you have hit your forties or fifties, the kid
you were in your twenties is pretty much gone and a wiser you is
standing.

Change is Desired on a Number of Levels
In business we might be looking to be a more effective leader or
manager in order to increase productivity. That might entail changing
how we deal with people by improving our motivation and communication
skills. Change might mean a new career, lifestyle or relationship. It
might mean building more confidence and self-esteem or learning how to
be less aggressive.

Change Involves Inner Work before the Outer Work can Begin
That is always the case. As Albert Einstein said,
