Having decided to make life changes instead of the
typical resolutions, I have to become more diligent about accomplishing my
goals. I know some basic changes that I
need to make, but I also know that those basic changes are fairly easy but
simply not enough. I want to make
Olympic gold star changes! I want to win the decathlon; I want to go to
infinity and beyond… Ok I hate running
and I’m not so thrilled about going into space either, but you get my
point. I need to reevaluate things about
myself in order to make the necessary changes. Not just simple changes. I mean
the kind of significant changes that will generate the things that I want, need
and desire. Visiting a friend’s church
recently, I found myself valuing more than ever the meaning behind the
sermon. The Bishop spoke about “Beyond
All Limits”. In order to have what I want and need, I have to go “Beyond All
Limits” In order for me to make those major changes, that will increase my life
in abundance, I have to go “Beyond All Limits”.
However before I can come remotely close to accomplishing any changes,
there are a few steps that are absolutely necessary. Step 1 Determine where I am currently and be
honest about. That means looking at my
lifestyle, who I surround myself with, my finances, my health status, all those
things that need to be checked. Once I
am honest about my current situation, I can begin to do the work. Step 2 Be
specific about what I want. What good is
making changes if I don’t know exactly what it is I’m aiming for in the first
place? It is not enough to say I want to be healthy. I have to be specific. - I want to have a
blood pressure of 117/76, I want to exercise three times a week and include
strength training, I want to have a career in the music industry by in the next
year…ok, ok, I can’t sing. Step 3 Understand that all that I want is
obtainable. I have a right to have the
things I want; no one can stop that but me.
Step 4 Ask for help. A little
help goes a long way. Don’t be afraid to
ask for help when I need it. Step 5 Keep doing the right thing, even if it
doesn’t feel good. Hard work is not
easy. Doing the right thing isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. Staying the course is essential.
Whether your goals are towards good health, a new job,
new attitude, new home, better relationships, know that you can have all you
want and more by following these basic steps.
Go Beyond All Limits… You deserve it!
Mind, body & soul…
Until we meet again.
