Do Money and Success Change us

“Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there” by Will Smith. 

A lot of people say:”Only if I had such money or success, I would do this and that”, or “I would be different”, “I would help people”, “I would give to charity”. The fact is that they are lying, probably without knowing that. Why? Because they do not know themselves! These exterior things won’t change you inside out, but will simply bring about things that are already there in your mind and soul. So, search your heart to find out what kind of person you are and whether you want to be like that. Because when money and success come they will bring what is best and worst in you.

Thoughts on success

 

What You Become Achieving Your Goals

„What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals“ by Zig Ziglar. 

People often concentrate on visible physical outcome, blessings, material prosperity when they think about success and achievements. However, this is not the main aspect of being successful. On the road to success you change in many ways. You become a different you. Why? Because you are moving, leaving things behind, discovering new things, rejecting old ways of thinking and adopting new ones. You would also hardly ever achieve things you want to achieve if you don’t change and refuse to become a completely different you.

Your Decisions Determine Your Future

„It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped“ by Tony Robbins. 

What you do today will surely affect how you live tomorrow. It is the law of sowing and reaping in practice. You cannot just think evil thoughts, speak evil words, do evil things and expect good results. No, it is the other way around. Your decisions will catch you later in life. You are building your personality. Your future is determined today by you and choices you make. Who and what do you want to become? Decide today and start going in that direction from this moment. If you go with the flow you will have results that most of the crowd has. Dare to be different and pursue what you believe to be valuable. God bless you!

Changing habits and changing yourself

“If you aren’t satisfied with your life today, yet you continue the same habits that got you here, you’ll still be dissatisfied next year, possibly even more so” by Steve Pavlina. 

Life cannot change for the positive if we do not change our habits. We form our habits and control them. When they start operating on the subconscious level they start controlling us. So, if they are good, they will give you a positive direction. If they are harmful they will surely harm you. Before you decide change something from the outside, decide to make an inner change and that is to change your habits. Inside out that is the best way to change yourself!

Thought for the day 14th of July 2011

Quotes on change is the topic of the post on the blog ‘Thought for the day’ today. I have already written a post about change, but I do not think it is enough and I always want to come back to certain topics again and again. This theme is very interesting for me and I am convinced that it is also an absolute must for everyone who got stuck in his failures and does not know what to do. There has to come a shift in our minds and mentalities if we want to see results we desire to see. Let the quotes on change help us. 

“The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live” by Flora Whittemore. 

Before making any serious decision which would impact your future and make significant changes in your life you have to think carefully about the outcome of your decision. You don’t want the alteration to bring you disaster but happiness. So, be wise and think twice. Then choose what you believe you have to choose. 

“Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become” author unknown. 

If you are going from progress to progress, you are on the right track. If you are going from failure to failure, something is wrong with the path you have taken. Study it and alter your course. The course of course, starts in your mind. 

“We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude” by Charles R. Swindoll. 

Unfortunately, we cannot change the path other people walk on. Fortunately, we cannot change the one we walk on. Attitude is the place to start. You change it and you are automatically on another path. 

“When you're finished changing, you're finished” by Benjamin Franklin. 

Change is the ever present element of life. When the element is gone, death comes. You might be alive physically, but if there is no spiritual movement in your life, you are spiritually dead. Open yourself to everlasting life and you will never be finished. When the journey is over here, you will go to a much better place. Jesus Christ is the way to this kind of life!

“People don't resist change. They resist being changed!” by Peter M. Senge. 

I will repeat what I have already said a dozen of times. Nobody can force you to change your worldview, beliefs and way of life. Only you can do it. Therefore, nobody is really responsible for what happens in your life. All responsibility is on you.

Hope you enjoyed quotes on change.
