I was the ONLY one who could change it!

We all have two choices in life:

1. Let the consequences of life change me.
2. Change myself with life.

Sh*t happens. Life can be difficult. It can be uncomfortable. Some days I have every reason to feel depressed and give up. Some days I just want to stop, I need a break — yet the difficulties keep on coming and coming.

I used to complain about it. “Why is it so difficult? Why has this happened to me … again? I hate this situation! Why don’t they do something about it?”

One day, I realized that the difficulties of this world will never end. Never! This is when I finally understood that if I wanted to improve the quality of my life, I was the ONLY one who could change it! No one would ever be able to do it for me!

Change is inevitable and never-ending. I used to face change with the wrong attitude. I hated it because it pushed me out of my comfort zone — today I understand that it’s challenges which actually make my life better! I’m growing, I’m improving, and growing and improving are what make life a life worth living.

So, to answer your question: What life goals should you have?

• Live outside your comfort zone!
• Your comfort zone is the death zone.
• Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.

Here’s a quote from GE’s CEO Jack Welsh that I like to remember.

“Change before you have to!”
