Change Begins with Choice
An Article by Jim Rohn

We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth.  We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives.  And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life: If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life. And it all begins with your very own power of choice.

Jim's article sure makes it sound easy but I was reading this article today by and must admit it created a spark for me!  Several months ago my blog went dormant.  There are numerous reasons for my absence.  Life's priorities change, we are sometimes burdened by interruptions, the responsibilities of raising a family, the business of running a business and whatever other excuses one can muster.  Often times it is easier for some of our goals to falter, fade and become forgotten than to take action consistently upon a goal. 

Now, I remember that I had a goal some time ago to create a local blog site with the purpose of contributing good usable content for my readers concerning our local communities. Information related to housing, real estate matters, and life in Cedar Park, Texas. I am renewing my commitment for that goal today and hope in passing this along it may help some of you to do the same with your desired goals which have fallen by the wayside.  Hope to hear from you soon.
