When things appear the way they used to, you have to adjust from the ways you used to. Albert Einstein said, “It is insanity to be doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Change is a force that has the ability to unlock every chain.

When life handcuffs you, change is all you need to free yourself. When things don’t go the way you want, change is all you need to get what you want. If the whole world turns against you, change is all you need to win.

Most people don’t know these three secrets: no one owes you anything, no one is coming to save you, and no one is ready to die for you. Once you know these secrets, you will realize the probability of missing it in life is very high, but if you leverage change, you can maximize your chances and be declared the champion.

Your financial instability requires you to change to start saving. You can’t spend it all and have something to fall back on. Your marital instability requires you to change because your spouse is neither your colleague nor your subordinate. 

Therefore, change your sleep schedule, eating habits, the company you keep, your attitude toward money, the information you assimilate, your investments in life, and your expectations from life. Your attitude toward work, your spouse, and family.

Let me round off with what my mentor Jim Rohn said. He said, “For things to change, you have to change. And if you change, everything will change for you.” He continued, “Don’t wish for fewer problems; wish for more skills. Don’t wish for fewer challenges; wish for more wisdom.”

The reason for change is simple; only those who know how to yield will live to see the other side of life. Always remember, if you don’t want to remain in chains, you have to change. And don’t forget this: between chance and change is choice.
