5 Steps to Lasting Changes

by Mary Ellen Strote
1. Choose the right goal. Don't get caught in the statement: I don't know where I'm going but I'm making good time!
2. Slow down. Abrupt change seldom lasts. The way to accomplish change is to visualize your goal and weave it into your life, making small adjustments along the way.
3. Take All the Necessary Steps. We're always trying to shortcut the process of change. But it's going through the process that gives us depth, alters our behavior and guarantees that change will last.
4. Enjoy the pursuit. If you think the changes you are making will guarantee happiness, you're wrong. We're raised to think of happiness as a goal but happiness is a result, the consequence of doing the meaningful work.
5. Accept the Greater Challenge. Taking the quick and easy route through life deprives us of opportunities to develop character. It is in living all the seasons of our lives that we acquire knowledge and experience.

 

Time does not stand still for anyone. As the times change so too can you.

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. Thomas Jefferson

Knowledge
Knowledge is neutral; it has no will of it's own. It is up to the individual to direct this knowledge into a productive channel.
As the famous Zen Master Gasanhas said:
A poor disciple utilizes a teacher's influence.
A fair disciple admires a teacher's kindness.
A good disciple grows strong under a teacher's discipline.
However, a teacher is but a student of his students.
He is guided by each and every one of them.
