Measuring Change
Once you embark upon the journey of changing your life, beware of the parting of the clouds and the giant hands…
I should say, don’t waste your time looking for all that drama. Real change doesn’t happen that way. Real change, which is the fundamental long term, adjustment to the quality of your day-to-day life, is a process of incremental steps. Many of which you don’t immediately notice. This means you could go for quite a while thinking nothing is happening, when in fact many changes are taking place.
This is the journey where you will face one of your greatest challenges.
The sudden, dramatic obvious changes we tend to look for as a way of measuring our progress are usually momentary. Exciting and distracting but not the long term fundamental change which permanently alters the course of our lives. Real change requires the necessary infrastructure to support it.
You can’t start with the roof of a building and then build down from there.
Looking for the big obvious sudden transformation is trying to find the finished roof before the building has even been built.
Stay focused and consistent with your life changing journey. One day you will find yourself standing on top of the roof of your new life. The view will be amazing… and you won’t have to worry about falling through a hole you overlooked during the building process.
