Make your choice

In the long run it will improve your life. Yet in your immediate, day to day experience, you’ll have some inconvenience, discomfort, and doubt.

You know a change is necessary, but it’s also daunting. You’re eager for the benefits of having made the change, while not quite prepared for the cost of getting there.

Even so, it must be done. As intimidating as it might be, delaying what you know you must do won’t make it any easier.

For your own sake, focus on the eventual benefits of the challenging, yet positive change. Remind yourself that you have the strength to work through the temporary disruptions and difficulties.

Though it may not be easy for the first few weeks or months, it will bring value for a whole lot longer than that. You have the opportunity to benefit from the power of your own intention, of your own choice to do what’s best.

So activate that intention, make your choice and act on the changes you know are necessary. You have what it takes to change, to grow, to improve, and you deserve the rewards of doing so.
