Guess what? It’s MONDAY!!!! What a perfect day for change!!! That’s what many of us are thinking today. Many of us use Mondays as our weekly “start over” day. This is the day when we will start exercising, or start planning, or start cleaning, or start eating healthier, or start a project. This is the day when things will change because we will change things on Mondays. We will change how we think,or act, or work….whatever. So Monday it is! What better day to change. Right?
Well, that depends on our motive for change. If we have decided to implement change in our life because we are running away from something, we are probably setting ourselves up for failure. Our focus will remain on that which we are running from….that negative thing that we want to change…rather than on what we are being called toward. But we try anyway because anything might be better than our current situation. Any change is better than no change….or so we think.
But when your “why” for change is bigger than your “why” for staying the same, you will feel called toward something rather than running away from something else. Your motive energy will have shifted and turned into momentum to accomplish something new.
So when you have a clear vision of that which you are being called toward (the end goal, the accomplishment, the move) and you put your energy into that positive direction, you are inevitably setting yourself up for success. Today, on this Monday, check your motive for change. Knowing that you are being called toward something rather than running away from something will make all the difference in your success. You will be glad you did!
