LaCresha's Lens Focuses On...page 36...Open to Change


The new year is well on its way.  By now, many have forgotten about their New Years Resolutions.  Others are still working on it, but unfortunately, will fade before summer hits.

Take on the challenge of your goals, maybe you want to further discover who you are as a person.  This is often referenced as an “authentic self journey”.  Take the time to appreciate yourself in small ways like a quiet morning with coffee.  Maybe a walk through a zoo or an Aquarium?  Find a way to take a few moments for yourself in this fast pace world we live in.  Have you tried meditation?  What about walks through a city or state park? 
These things take the effort of scheduling them in our lives.  We can tell ourselves how we want to go and do something.  However, we need to be the change that we want to see in ourselves and the world around us.  Want a more peaceful living?  Then you need to make the effort to obtain the peaceful living.  With kids running around the living room, the dog jumping on the counter and knocking the dinner onto the floor, peace may seem endless miles away. 

Yet, by establishing boundaries, setting down the determination to make it a part of your life it is possible.  You have to want it.  More than that, you need to want it badly enough to actually take the time to do it.  Change won't happen unless you implement it.

What is it you long for in your life?  Is it more peace?  A healthier lifestyle?  Maybe you desire to be more active?  Take the time to decide what would make you a healthier and happier person.  Then take the steps to achieve it.  Schedule it like a doctors appointment and don't pull a no show.  Life is too short to delay those simple pleasures in life.
