Make the Change
“If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to meet it”~Jonathan Winters
It is pretty easy to fill each day with emails, phone calls, and some wasted time on your favorite social media site. Then fill your evening with TV and movies. With long work days and distractions at home it is very easy to keep thinking that someday you’ll make that change.
The days, weeks, and years pass by one by one and slowly life is passing you by while you work hard for someone else. You may say to yourself that someday things will change. The reality is that things will never change unless you make them.
“They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself”~Andy Warhol
If you really would like to be financially independent, happy with your work, and in control of your time; you need to make the decision to take control of your life. If you set goals, work towards them, and do something you are passionate about, you will finally reach your true happiness.
What is holding you back? Is your corporate job really that secure? Is the promotion you are working for really going to make you happy? Will that tiny raise you expect next year really make any difference?
Don’t fool yourself. Continuing to work in that same job is not going to get you to your goals. You have the ability to do great things but your boss will never know it. Your boss doesn’t care. Their ultimate goal is different than yours.
You can’t sit back and wait for change. You have to make it happen. There is no sense in waiting for the right time. There is never a better time to make a change than right now.


It is so true that we have to make things happen. When I was talking to Magnolia yesterday she was asking me what I wish for..I told her what I wish for and that I was going to make it come true. She was confused that I actually had to make my wish come true…but it is a great discussion to have with her at 5 yrs old to get her to start realizing that we can make our dreams and wishes come true and don’t have to depend on anyone to make it happen!
