Life Is Not About Speed. It Is About This

Life is precious. Life is a gift, a gift from God. Life is not about speed. It is more than that.

Life is bigger than us. It is bigger than you. We know that. You know it.

We can’t take care of everything. We can’t control everything. We can’t control life. But we can control our lives.

How do we control our lives? Simple. By taking care of things we can take care of. By taking care of our thoughts. By taking care of ourselves. By taking care of where we are. By taking care of what we are doing. And by taking care of our choices.

Do not forget that life is about choices. You are responsible for your choices.

Whatever you get, take it. Because you are responsible for your choices.

If you do not like what is going on in your life, if you are not happy, take action to make things better. That is the only thing you can do for yourself.

And it is not coming from anyone. But you. Do not ignore it. Do not put it away. Do not try to talk yourself out of it. It is not going to go away.

Remember, nothing changes by itself. If you want change, act. If not, then don’t.

Why Change Matters

Life is change. If you want to grow in your life, you must embrace change. It is not easy. But without it, you are not going anywhere.

Here are five benefits of change, according to Dan Pontefract, ‘Life becomes less stressful, and anxiety reduction is likely to lead to productivity increases.’

‘When unanticipated curveballs head your way, you shrewdly know how to address them.’

‘Others around you recognize your capacity to adapt, admiring your flexibility and poise.’

‘You will experience growth, able to use it in future scenarios when change is thrust upon you.’

‘You’re no longer pusillanimous of change, but rather a leader who embraces it as seamlessly as the reasons change.’
