Ten Steps for Creating a Positive Change in Your Life and Career

Most humans are creatures of habit. We find things to do and get comfortable. Slowly, over time, our brains hardwire themselves and release chemicals to crave and repeat certain behaviors. However, our brains have amazing plasticity, meaning that by focusing and working hard we can continue learning complex new things throughout our lives. We must remain deliberate,

active, and engaged to make change happen and stick long term.

Throughout millions of years of evolution we have become less and less prone to take risk as we enjoy more and more of the comforts of modern life. Let’s not forget, we are designed to walk miles a day, run from and fight predators, work hard to seek peaceful shelter, and then sleep in short intervals.

As this New Year starts I ask myself, “What is it that you have wanted to do but, are afraid to try?” Right now just about everyone I know is in a constant state of panic and questioning about the future.

First, I put it all in perspective. If I take on a new challenge to change, then I ask myself what is the worst that will happen? I weigh the consequences and then either decide to do or do not do.

In the back of my head everyday I think about the roughly three billion people around the world living on less than two dollars a day and remember that I am fortunate enough not to be one of them. However, if living on two dollars a day is the worst thing that can happen, then let’s take the risk. All we really need is food and shelter.

I have failed more times than I can count, but I would rather take the risk and fail than stand idle and wait for a sure thing every time. People that succeed make a habit of doing things that normal people feel uncomfortable attempting. We are people with ambition, willing to change to meet the challenges that we both set and face.

THE PATH TO CHANGE
Through hard work, education, and dedication we can change most any circumstance. Here are my thoughts on creating a path for change and success in your life:

1. Analyze where you are and what you want to accomplish. Write down what you want to achieve or change, and use positive words. Mentally, visualize your desires, and prepare by talking po...
