Motivational Monday! Change!!!

Motivational Monday!

Change!!!

Change... Change... Change... Does the word itself scare you? Does it excite you? When I was younger, it scared me! When I was younger, I tried hard to keep things from changing! Of course I was never successful! And of course I was always stressed out! 

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong ~N.R. Marayana Murthy

As I grew older, and I'd like to think wiser, I realized that change is an inevitable part of life. Once I accepted that and embraced it, my life became so much less stressful! Once I accepted that change was healthy and necessary for personal growth, I began to excel and reach the goals I had been setting for myself!

Only I can change my life, no one can do it for me ~ Carol Burnett

Change, look forward to it! Change, try to create it! Change, embrace it! Change, understand that in order to grow as a person, change is necessary! 

Change your thoughts and you change your world             ~Norman Vincent Pearle

Can you change everything you want to change? Of course not! There are things that happen in our lives that involve other people that we have no power to change. When this happens, express your opinions respectfully and then keep moving. We have to understand that not everyone is going to think what we think... not everyone is going to believe what we believe. We do have the power to control how WE think! So, instead of getting angry that the situation isn't what you want and that you don't have the power to change it. Change what you can... change yourself... change the way you think about it. Getting angry doesn't usually hurt the one that you are angry with. It simply hurts you... So make the choice to let it go.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude ~Maya Angelou 

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference ~Reinhold Niebuhr 

So, this week, take a deep breath and embrace your life and all that it brings! Be courageous! Be Bold! Reach for your dreams! Encourage change!

Annnnd yeeeeees, I've been asked... "you're a Realtor, why are you writing a blog titled 'Motivational Monday'?" To answer the question... Over the years, I've run into many different people, all with very different personalities. I've found that people that have an optimistic and positive outlook on life are happier people. I want to do my part to empower others to be positive. I  want to do my part to empower others to believe in the power of affirmations. I want to do my part to help people believe in themselves again. I want to do my part to make the world a happier place... even if it's just for one person, I will have made a difference.  

Have a Blessed Week! Remember, Success is yours if you are willing to work for it!!!
