Jim Rohn says “The only change that is really going to dramatically
affect your life is you”. Simply put, if you want to change a thing, you want
to change the world, you must change yourself first. But you must also understand
that change is a process, not an event. It’s not that if you want to change a
thing, you’ll just snap and then the change is already there. You need to hard
work and be patient.
Just like if you have a problem, sometimes you just want to end it
immediately but it’s not that easy. What makes a problem big is simply that
it’s yours. We tend to think that we have the biggest problem in the universe.
Everyone has problems. No one is perfect. So, we should change this thought, we
should change ourselves in thinking this way. Instead, we need to think of a
solution.
Maybe you wonder if you have the ability to change. The truth is, you
have it. But to make it possible, you have to change yourself first. You have
to change your mentality, your habits, and your actions. It’s not easy changing
yourself, but it’s necessary if you want to make a massive impact.
You don’t need to change everything. You just need to improve and change
what is closest to you. Many people believe that one can be able to change the
world by making changes in the political and social structures of the world,
but it’s not. Sometimes all it takes is trying to fix and improve what’s
closest to you and affects you personally.
Change begins with improving who we are on the inside. We each have a
unique identity and our own distinct thoughts. These thoughts often propel us
to act. So, by mindfully centering our thoughts in a positive direction, we can
improve our actions and thus our character.
Simply put, if you change
nothing, nothing changes.
