Greener Grass In 2014

I know that we are almost a week into 2014 and you haven't heard from me in a couple weeks. My work load at my job keeps me very busy in December and I have been fighting some sort of infection for almost two weeks. I am beginning to feel better now and am inspired to share this thought with you today.

I know that I have touched on this subject before, but I thought it was worth covering it again with a little different perspective. We all know the saying, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." We tend to believe that will get better when we get this or that, or when this or that happens. There is some truth to these beliefs. The problem is, we think that what ever it is that we feel that we lack, that when we get it, it will make us complete. It will fill in that feeling of lack for a short time, but eventually that feeling of lack will come back and you will be searching for the next thing to take it's place.

If you want things to be different in 2014 and not the same as they were in 2013, 2012, or even 2011, you will have to change your thought process. You need to commit to changing you. That is the only way to make a difference in your life. We keep jumping from greener grass to greener grass because we keep killing the grass where we are due to improper care. We will not make our dreams and passions come true living like we have been doing. We must make changes. When you make positive changes in your life, the grass where you are, gets a little greener. Stop fooling yourself with thinking that once you catch a break, then you will make a change. The truth is, make a change and you will catch a break.

Don't get caught up on stopping old habits, put your efforts toward creating new habits. It takes 21 days to create a new habit. Knowing that, you can see how easy it is to make a change. Those things in your life that aren't serving you, will fall away. Just concentrate on creating new.

Plant the new seeds of 2014 on the new soil of your new conscientiousness. Stop running the vicious cycle of planting new seeds in old soil expecting new results. You can plant all you want in old soil but will never see the results you expect until you change the soil you are planting in. Change your soil, change your results.

Adapt, Improvise, And Overcome to become your best.
