Desired Change Begins From Within Not Without
Outside influences can impact you, but only if you allow them to.
Nothing, and I mean nothing at all, has always been static and unchanged. Nothing. No person, place, or thing. Everything changes.
Sometimes change is so slow and subtle that it makes no noticeable impact for a while. Other times, change is instantaneous, good, bad, and everything in between.
As free-thinking human beings, you and I have the power to choose to change. This can be literal, figurative, metaphorical, or all of the above simultaneously. It can be as small as a different hairstyle, larger like a new job or relationship, or enormous like selling your worldly possessions and going backpacking on the other side of the world indefinitely.
Anytime you choose to change of your own accord, it begins within. However, it’s not just a matter of the idea, but far deeper.
Change begins from within
You are the only one in your head, heart, and soul. You, and only you, can think your thoughts, feel your feelings, intend your intentions, determine if your approach is positive or negative, and act to take any given action.
