Doing what it takes to facilitate change

• There has to be a significant dissatisfaction with where we are today. We have to get to a place in which we say enough is enough. We have to say that I will not continue to put up with what is happening today.

• There has to be a compelling picture of where we want to go. This means that we need a vision of what our future will look like that we want to run to. This should show us that our life will be better when we get to this new place. The vision should serve as a tool in motivation and provide us with clarity in terms of where we want to go.

• We have to TAKE the right actions. This starts with doing different things by intention. Our behaviors have to change and we need to do them in a consistent basis until habits are locked in. Improvement will not happen until the habits are formed. Each individual needs to see the road map that will take us to our future. We need to see what actions we have to take and then do what it takes to make them happen.

I believe that we need to focus on each of these three areas. It is important to live in the Now and do something about the things that are challenging us. You will have to work the process and keep all three things in your mind as you take the next steps in the journey.
