Motivational Power Quote

Be Open to Change

“It’s not that some people have

willpower and others do not.

It’s that some people are ready

to change and others are not.”

James Gordon medical doctor

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Be open to change

The only constant in your life is change.

Some change will become a spring broad into the future for taking you to greater success or change can cause a temporary obstacle on your success journey.

Look at change as opening the doors to new and greater opportunities and you’ll see the possibilities leading to greater success in your future.

You can resist change and stand in the same spot that your standing today with no progress. Or you can accept change as a fact of life and look at it as a new canvass with an opportunity to paint a new picture for your life.

See the change as evolving process creating new opportunities and being fired with a new purpose.

When you accept change we will evolve to the next level on your success journey.

Be open to change and you will find positive change is all around you.

You pretty much have to change. Technology has made us all change, whether we wanted to or not. My marketing exposure is completely different now than when I started in 1996. Nothing is the same.

Well said. It's not what happens to you that matters, but how you respond is. We don't have any choice but change so it's madness to fight it!

Melissa Etheridge is my favorite singer and she has a song called "Change" . The main chorus line is " The only thing that stays the same is Change". I listen to that cd at least 3 times a week and your post is right on with it. We have the responsibility/luxury to adapt to change in everything we do, see, feel, touch, hear, etc.... How you handle that change will dictate who you become.

Thanks for posting today. As usual I enjoy your thoughts and posts, it's good to see this today.

Change is inevitable so might just as well embrace it and hope for the best. You can't just stay in "quick sand and go under!"

Lou, change is absolutely a constant and I undeniably accept it. I have been using the priciple's of PATIENCE, TOLERANCE and ACCEPTANCE in my everyday life and yes, there is that factor of the UNKNOWN... and fear of the unknown is where most faltar. I have to take risks to grow. To paraphrase" When we accept change, we evolve (grow) and climb up to that next level of our success journey" If we don't expect or accept change, we lose focus and prosperity. Great Post!

Thanks for your daily motivational quote Lou. I agree, not accepting change would be bad for any new growth. Who wants to be stagnant anyway when it's easy to achieve. Change leads us to success on our journey. :)
