"Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have -- and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up."
-James Belasco and Ralph Stayer
Flight of the Buffalo (1994)
The thought of change is frightening to most people, but when the right opportunity presents itself, you must recognize it and seize the moment. If you fail to act, the moment will pass and may never come again. To me, it's worse living with the "What If?" than it is to take a chance on life and fail.
There are a number of changes happening in my life right now, both big and small, but I am choosing to not let thoughts of uncertainty hold me back from advancing. All I can do is the following: Believe in myself, my capabilities, know my strengths, acknowledge my weaknesses, and press forward with my head held high and a smile on my face.
And to each of you, I challenge you to do the same. If you are facing new obstacles in life, good or bad, stay strong. Just throw on a cute pair of shoes and head out the door to change a few things for yourself.
Believe me, you'll feel much better choosing to change things for yourself versus letting change happen to you.
Be Sweet.
