'If you can not be the change that you want to see, than your transformation will never be reached'

I heard that last night while I was watching something different on the non-traditional boob-tube. A few folk had been going on and on about 'My 600lbs Life'. 

Now I am really big on reality tv. Mostly because it is a 'scripted' reality show. But as I said, my normal go-toes weren't keeping me interested. So I was searching through Hulu and they had 'My 600lb Life' as a suggestion for me to watch. 

As I was binge watching, there was an episode with a young woman named Tara. I am not sure if this was a quote from someone else or one she offered for the show. It sang loudly to me, on a personal level as well in relationship to some people I know.

We all have things we want to see different. Whether it is on a major globe scale or just within ourselves. And that change starts within us.

You can have a person or yourself that wants to advance at work. Talking about all the time. But never truly taking inventory of themselves and making the changes they need to get where they want. Whether it is setting out of their comfort zone or realizing they may not be working hard enough to get what they want. It is easy to say what you deserve but what are you doing to earn it? Are educating yourself beyond your limits? Are you making yourself noticeable, by the work you are performing? Or are you waiting on someone to bring it you?

I had a chit chat with a friend, they are ready to move on professional. They feel they deserve to be at a higher rank. At their present location, the recognition isn't there. Meanwhile, it is taking a toll on this person's optimism. I suggested getting away from that environment, to give themselves an opportunity to reinvent themselves free of the drama and negative energy their present location is saturated in. They believe if they sit and wait the right position will come along. Ignoring the effects the surroundings is having on their professional reputation and their health. I said taking a side step in another lane can give you access to your goal.

Another friend, keeps asking his girlfriend to be patient with him. (She in love with him, she doesn't want to go away from him. Good, Bad and Ugly!!! lol.) Anyway, he has lot going on. He is telling her he doesn't want to lose her. He wants things to be different. Now this may sound easier said than done, but it isn't. Be the change you want. As I said, he is overthinking most of the time. (So does she.) She doesn't want anyone other than him. And she is patiently waiting for him to be the change he is talking about.

Last but not least, there is myself. I want to change my living situation. Well, I had to become the change my son and I needed. It wasn't a hard thing to do. At first, I was hung up on relocation. I was considering Albuquerque, NM and New York, New York. I think I was doing a bit of running. I really did want to get away from what I knew and what knew me. It was all based in pain and anger. As I cleared the hurdle, it didn't matter if I was still here or living in some other state. In my attempting to run from myself, I got nowhere. Now that I am not running from myself anymore, I am finally moving forward.

Become the Change that you Want, to Achieve the Transformation you Desire.
