THE KEY TO THE REWARD IS THE WORK INVOLVED...

One thing I notice quite often during my coaching sessions with clients is that there are so many people who want to change for the positive but, despite the help that is offered them, they just aren't willing to do the work. The key to change is that you must do the work. You can read and research and study all you like, but until you make a conscious effort to get your head in the game and really apply what you've read, researched and studied every waking moment, your chance for change will be slow if not non-existent.

I work with people every day who want so badly to develop a positive outlook on life and to bury their old, negative habits but, despite all of the help they receive, they continually revert back to their old habits and then come up with excuses as to why these changes aren't working out. Excuse my language here but I have to say this, and we all know this to be true, excuses are bullshit! We all have a million reasons as to WHY we can't make changes in our lives, but it really boils down to one thing, people don't do the work due to a fear of change. Change will ultimately take us out of our comfort zone, but if we are honest with ourselves we know that there is really nothing comfortable about this zone as it brings nothing but negative and often harsh results.

Change can be tough, especially after years of developing unhealthy habits which bring nothing but negative results. Those bad habits took years to develop and to expect them to change quickly is not realistic. We all change at different paces, some get it right off the bat and are on it, doing the work, making the changes they need to effectuate their desired results, while others work in baby steps and over a period of time can achieve the same results. Then, there are those who really, really want to change, but refuse to do the work or just live vicariously through other peoples' lives. I understand how hard it is, but the beginning of any worthwhile journey requires that your take that ever-difficult first step. A good example here would be if you decided to lose weight and make the switch to a healthy lifestyle...the first step would be to map out a healthy eating plan...follow that up with a list of healthy recipe...then follow that up with a shopping list for ingredients, and so on. You WILL succeed.

If you want to be happy, if you want freedom, if you want to eliminate fear from your life so you can really live, if you want joy and laughter more often than not, if you want ease, if you want excellent health and balance, if you want abundance, then know that you CAN have all of these things and more, if you do the work. If you can do it on your own, then I commend you for your hard work, your stamina and for taking that first step. If you need help and you take that first step to get it, then I commend you just as much for taking that first step.

My hope for you is this...I hope that when you ask the universe, your higher power, or a life-coach for help to change your life for the better, that you mean it and that you do the work you need to do to get to where you want to be...you are worth it.
