Doing The Same Thing - Get The Same Results

If you always do what you've always done, You'll always get what you've always got... Abraham Maslow

If you want things to be different in your life then you need to do different things, make different decisions and ask different questions. Thinking in different ways is not difficult, however still many people can not do it. Why not start with these questions....

Notice the three areas of your life you are not getting the results you want-

What are 3 things in each of these areas you can do differently?

What do you need to stop doing?

What do you need to express more?

What do you need to do much more of?

Remember change is within everyone, you just need to have a big enough reason to change...

These qualities are:

5. Proactivity
6. Security
7. Health
8. Spirituality
9. Altruism
10. Perspective
11. Humour
12. Purpose

Plus a big extra one Appreciation

A person who can love themselves but more importantly others around them, can have big dreams and be optimistic even when times are tough, has enough security about themselves to laugh and take risks, BUT most importantly can always put things back into perspective knowing that there is a bigger picture.

A person that is happy and has great appreciation for the wolrd around them, is proactive and allows their focus to be on helping other people rather than on themselves.

This sort of person will feel a greater sense of fulfillment and happiness than someone who is self involved and lives in self doubt and fear.

We all have choices in life to who we want to be and the qualities we want to share, value and take on board. What is your choice?
