What Is One Thing That May Change Your Life
That thing is you.
“Things do not change. We change.” Henry David Thoreau.
There are two things that you can’t change in life. The past, and the future.
Everything else is up to you. This is not a new concept, but it is one of the most powerful.
It is easy to get caught up in the past, especially when we look at our childhood. There are so many things that we wish were different.
We wish we were smarter, more athletic, or more well-liked.
We may wish that our parents were not so strict, or that they were more strict.
We may wish that we had made better career choices, or that we had not gotten into a relationship that was painful in the long run.
We may wish that we had not made certain choices in our youth, or that we had made different choices in some other area.
We may wish that we had more money or less.
We may wish that we had more friends, or that we had stayed in touch with some of the people we lost touch with.
But what if none of those wishes had ever happened?
Or what if they did, but there was one thing that was different. One thing that you did…
