Only you can change your life. No one can help you. Only you can change your life because change happens from the inside out, not from the outside in.

Change can happen only when you are ready to change. If you are not ready to change your life, no one can force you to do so. Even if people succeeded in pushing you to make a change in your life, that change is not going to last. It will last only when you are ready to change your life.

It is great to change what is not working well for you. It is not okay to remain with what is not moving you forward, what is not adding value to your life, what is not stimulating your creativity. If you do, you are missing out. You are cheating yourself.

“Only you can change your life.”

Change is hard, but unavoidable. If you don’t like something in your life, change it. But before you change it, make sure you are really ready to change. Remember, change is a way of life. It takes time to make a real change. When you start, be patient, and change will happen.

Only you can do it, no one else. Carol Burnett said, “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.”

Only you, no one else. Change is here!

Be the change you want to see in others

If you want to change the world, start with yourself. It is easier to tell other people to change than to tell yourself to change. People will change only when they see you changing. If they don’t see you doing what you are asking them to do, they will not change. If you want to move the world, let the process begins with you. Without that, it is not going to happen.

“If you want to change the world, start with yourself.”

Change is a way of life. The only thing that is constant in life is change. Change is what we do everyday. Whether you know it or not, you are changing everyday. So, if you want to move the world, you MUST first move yourself. If you want to change the world, your life, your business, your relationships, you MUST first change yourself. If not, it is a waste of time.

Leo Tolstoy said, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” Because it is easier to tell people what to do than to tell yourself to do the same thing. But life does not work that way. If you think of changing the world, you must first think of changing yourself. You must first think of changing your environment. You must first think of changing your life. The only way you can tell a good story is when you have experienced it.

Gandhi said the same thing in a different way. He said: “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Don’t wish for someone to bring change to you. It is not going to happen. If you want things to change, go out there and change it. If you want your life to change, go out there and meet success, and your life will change.

If you want to be successful, be a change agent.
