A good part of life and success involves constant change. Everything around us is changing even ever so slightly. The economy is always changing. Industry is always changing. People around us are always changing. We are always changing.

Let’s face it.

Change is uncomfortable.

As human beings we are habitual, and change is the antithesis of being habitual. We like the status quo even though it may not be exactly meet our goals, desires, and dreams. We are used to the status quo. We know how to react.

However, if we want to improve our lives, we have to improve our approach to life. In essence, we have to change the way we attack our goals. Instead of reacting to change, we have to initiate the change. This can be one of the most challenging aspects of success because we have to look at our own approach and ask others around us to do the same.

This can be gut-wrenching.

Initiating change is one of the most challenging things that you can do. It involves taking a different approach, taking inventory of what you need to change, and even admitting when you are wrong. 

Waiting for the calvary or waiting for something to miraculously happen will probably not get you far or anywhere at all. You are the cavalry. You need to be the one that approaches life differently. You need to be the one who finds ways to fill in the gaps. You’re the one who finds the people who can help you…build your own cavalry.

Go out there and change your life.
