The Secret To Success – Step or Otherwise
“If you want to have more, you have to become more. For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to become better.” ~ Jim Rohn
So often we’re looking for others to become more, for others to change, and for others to be better when it’s ourselves that must become more, change, and become better.
If you want to have more money, better relationships, a bigger house, a new car, you have to become more by investing in yourself. You have to become more by going back to school, hiring a coach, getting out of your comfort zone, try new things, face your fears.
If you want things to change, you have to change first. This is so basic. So simple. But so many people don’t want to change. They expect other people to change while they go about acting and behaving badly. Instead of blaming others or complaining about others, work on yourself. Focus your attention and invest your energy on become the best you ever.
If you want things to become better, you have to become better. Want a better relationship with your spouse? Become a better spouse. Want a better relationship with your kids? Become a better parent. Want a better dog? Become a better dog owner. Want to be a better cook? Take a cooking class. Want to become a healthier you? Commit to physical activity and eating better every day.
No one can do your mental pushups for you but you. If you want a better life, it really is up to you.
Are you up for the challenge?

Hi Peggy,
Great short article. The way I see it to become successful and become better you need to be able to see your shortcomings. Now for many people that is just too difficult and stops them to become what they want to be. Common excuses always include that it are others people faults. A lot of people know they need to change but it opens up wounds they rather leave closed. Self knowledge and ability to improve your self are key ingredients to success. I agree working with a coach is one of the better ways to get around the problem.

Hi Nik,
Thanks for stopping by today. I agree that what stops so many from reaching their dreams, whether it’s in their career or significant relationships, is blaming, complaining, and making excuses. We, as humans, take on a language of victimhood. We are where we are because of what we think, say and do.
I hope you have a great day!
This post reminds me of a quote by Mahatma Gandhi “be the change you wish to see in the world”. I have always learned to embrace change. If it is pain be ready to embrace happiness. If there is happiness be ready to embrace pain. Life is constantly changing!

You are absolutely right Peggy! It is we who can change things for ourselves. If we do not like something then we must change it, if we cannot change it, then we must change our attitude. If someone cannot be good to us, let us be good and try to change things from our end. Thanks for the reminder!
