Change Your Attitude, Cause Change In Your Life

My apologies to those that are regular readers of my blog. I have been on vacation this week along with the graduation of a son, so it has been a busy week. In this time, I have had chance to hear many great and inspirational words from various speakers. Graduation time tends to bring out the inspiring ability of many people.

My son and his graduating class chose a quote by author Barbara Hall that reads, "the path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matter is that we embark." Stop a moment and think about what is being said. Something that I repeat from time to time in my own articles. You will never get to your destination if you do not start.

You can spend nearly your entire life life trying to decide which road to follow. Should I go left should I get that degree, maybe start a business or maybe buy another map. Get up and go...for as I've said many times, "movement causes change." There is nothing keeping you from doing so but your own self limiting thoughts. The world is great and large with loads of opportunity for both failure and success. But you will never find either by sitting still, studying a map, plotting forever the course you want to take.

My sons and daughters are moving and seeing change occur. They as many other young people do will flounder and succeed, disappoint and inspire while finding that which is the course of their lives. They must never forget that in life, you can always change again should they find the road not what they expected, make a move to change.

As we of the older generation should also know is that we too can change. There are many different roads available to us. But the first step is movement, movement towards something and you will see change occur in your life.

Congratulations to all of the newly graduating high school seniors around the world. The same can be said for all of the newly graduated college folks. And finally, congratulations to all of you who have taken those steps in which "movement causes change."
