Could you imagine a female, 5 ft tall, over 210 pounds who says she wants to lose weight but did not really have a plan?

That was my experience when a relative came to visit.

She wanted to lose the weight.

It was clear she knew what she wanted but did not know the process involved.

It was impossible to get her to see that there was another part to the process.

Know The Change Process

It is easy to talk change.

However, talking is not improvement.

As human beings we can improve our lives so long as we follow the talk with specific plans that we will execute.

It is clear when you listen to people talking about weight loss that many don’t know the process.

It is why it is so difficult for them to follow through with a plan when they say they want change.

The good news is that transformation is possible when you know what to do.

Many people have changed their lives because they knew exactly what to do.

Today, if you are not sure about what you do, continue reading.

Change Is Possible

It does not come easily but it is possible.

Why is it difficult?

Because it is usually accompanied by discomfort and or disruption.

These are two things that most times are not welcome.

Hence the difficulties that usually come with trying to create improvement can be challenging.

In the end, you must be prepared to disrupt your life to accommodate change.

If what you want is important to you, then the discomfort and disruption are only minor inconveniences.

In fact you then learn to accept change with the kind of grace that makes is a beautiful experience.

Your Plan

Talking about change is great.

Without a plan it is just talk, and talk alone cannot bring about transformation.

Articulating a detailed plan is what you must add to your life.

For example, if you want to lose weight, you need to detail the activities you are going to do to help you bring down your weight.

Your plan must involve action.

If you are participating in a plan that is designed to help you lose weight, your actions would be about losing weight.

They may not seem that way in the beginning but staying with the program should eventually end in weight loss.

Whether your goal is to lose weight or to improve your finances, to become a leader or to become a musician, you must have a plan.

How do you get a plan?

Today it is easy to find information that could help you create any positive difference you want in your life.

And a lot of that information is free..Just Google it.

After Googling the information you can now create into a plan of action.

Or you can join a program that is designed specifically to help you with your weight problem.

Be Persistent

This is where the disruption enters the picture.

Your plan needs your time.

Giving that time would take you away from activities that form a normal part of your life.

It is important that you identify the activities that would get you to your goal.

Give up those that do not.

Hence the difficulties that people encounter when they are trying to change.

Their life was already full.

Think about it with your life today.

Do you have time or space to add something new?

But if you want to change something, you need to find the time.

Disruption!

You need to make some adjustments to get everything to fit in.

Yes there is going to be disruption.

It is a necessary part of improvement because you can’t get what you want without dealing with other commitments.

It is a case of fitting in to make things work for you.

Once you get there, now you persist and then life improvement is possible!

Your Dreams

People who decide to create change in their lives are usually dreamers.

They begin seeing themselves in their new and improved life.

And their dreams give them energy to carry through to the end.

If you are a dreamer and a doer, you have what it takes to move your life forward.

Dreams are a necessary part of the process.

Is it possible to create meaningful change without dreaming about it?

Yes, but that situation is rare or possible in academia.

For the person who wants to improve their financial situation is one who dreams about financial freedom.

Then they go out and create it.

Change Is Serious Business

If you are not serious about change, you will not be able to create it in your life.

To be serious means that you are prepared to do what it takes to win.

Winning is the goal.

Change is winning in this context.

It means new positions, different attitudes and more pleasure.

Money could be the source of the pleasure but may not always be.

It all depends of your goal.

If you want to lose weight for instance, money cannot replace that goal.

But if you increase your income so that you could participate in a more expensive program that is designed to help you lose weight, then the money is fine and welcome.

It all depends on your goal, what you want.

The logic is like this: if you don’t go through the pain of change, you will never experience the beauty of change.

Conclusion

Talking change is not enough and will get you no where.

In fact, people who talk change usually spend too much time talking and not enough working on the change they talk about.

You can create the life you want because you now know that change is possible.

Yes, it involves work and persistence.

The more you do, the easier it is to accomplish your goal.

That is why you must have a plan.

Trying to change without a plan is like trying to drive a car without having had a driving lesson.

You must know what you want and be prepared to do the work that is needed.

Focus on the new, take your eye off the old and stay the course.

Change is possible for you when you do things in the right way.

One reason could be because you want to live a life that is based on giving value to others.

People who have a high desire to help others understand that theirs is a life of contribution that must come from a place of empowerment.

So they consciously look to improve their outlook based on a higher knowledge of themselves.

You have a better understanding of yourself when you know your worth.

When you want to change your life, you take actions that will bring about positive change.

Change If You Need To

It is a great person who sees that there is a shortfall in his or her capabilities and make the decision to change.

They decide to do in acknowledgement that in order to contribute to the lives of others, change is necessary.

There is nothing more generous.

Reaching such a decision shows the heart of the person and comes from an inner compulsion to help others.

That is a gift that not too many people have.

A gift that pushes them to improve themselves in order to give to others.

Know Your Worth

What you do and how you act should not be based on how other feel about you.

Your actions must be based on your self worth and what you think about yourself.

When you know who you are, you do not allow others to disrespect you, at least not more than once.

You don’t have to get angry about the situation.

Other people are free to think and feel as they do.

You must not be the one to accept any kind of behavior that is disrespectful and demeaning.

So if you think that is what you are receiving do something about it.

Know what it feels like to have others appreciate you and assess the situation.

When you do, what you arrive at will determine your actions.

You either place yourself where others appreciate you for who you are or you move away.

Choose Where You Land

When you first meet them you may not know who people are.

But once they show you who they really are, it is the decision time.

You stay if you are appreciated or you go to where you are.

The decision is always yours to make.

But it is always easier to make the right one when you know your worth.

Always value yourself in the best way and stop looking up to the valuation of others.

Your Valuation Is Prime

The value others place on you is non of your business.

When you know your worth, you are in the driver’s seat of your life.

Drive it well and you will have the best life you can.

If you think your valuation is not in line with your ambitions, then you can do something about it.

But that must come from you and not from someone who does not know you.

There are people you can trust to help you make the right decision.

In the end however, it is up to you to decide.

If your valuation is not up to scratch and you know that you want to do something bigger in your life, then get into action.

There are courses and training you can take to improve your self worth.

It Is Up To You

The important thing is to understand that others can have an impact on you if you give them the opportunity.

It only happens when you let them.

You give the authority to disparage you.

When you understand your power, you could better use it to make your life less challenging.

When you also understand that there some people who are ready and willing to take advantage of you.

They are basically bullies…always ready to hurt others.

Once you know what being hurt is, you should not let others hurt you more than the first time.

When they tell you who they are, move away.

It is up to you.

Who Do You Want To Be

There are many types of people out there.

Trying to identify them all is complicated.

But in order to prosper you will need other people.

So how do you not spend your life testing others and instead, move on with yours?

Become the person with a standard of behavior.

Remain steadfast in your commitment to being the person who will not be hurt more than once.

You give them the benefit of your friendship but never with your guard down until they show that they are worthy of your love and trust.

Do You Forgive?

When it comes to your life, forgiveness is great, but can be dangerous.

If someone did not know your worth in the past, they probably are still in that place in their lives.

Then there is nothing to forgive.

If on the other hand they have made changes in their lives such that they understand their own self worth, then it is possible to forgive.

Of course the choice is yours.

You are the one analysing the situaiton and you to make the call.

Usually you can be guided by the fact that people do not usually change.

Your Ideal Life

Knowing your worth and enjoying who you are with others who truly appreciate you is the idea life.

Understand that there will not be too many people fitting into that space.

So appreciate those who make it there and keep them.

It will be difficult to find others to fit into that space.

So once you have them and you understand their worth to you, you have a relationship that many people would die for.

Conclusion

No one can give you more than your self worth.

While you can improve it, it is also a mindset.

So you have it in you just as you know certain children know their self worth from early.

So too, you can develop an appreciation of your own and live your life accordingingly.

Don’t expect many others to respect you if you do not respect yourself and you respect yourself when you know your self worth.

You have the world at your finger tips when you know who you are and what you are about.

That is what self worth gives you.
