What truly motivates change in ones self?

It could be that you are not happy with a certain aspect of your being. Maybe you are not living the life of your dreams, the way you have envisioned it to be. It could just be that you are unsure of what it is that you truly want your life to be like, but you know that there has to be more to it than what you are currently experiencing.

Every one of us has the inherent desire to become more than what we are. It is "Divine Nature". You originated from a source of perpetual more. Ever creating,  and ever expanding throughout the universe. So it would stand to reason that you, would have a never ending desire to do the same in your own life.

However, just having that "desire" is not nearly enough to cause it to become reality. You must be motivated to act on that desire, and make a commitment to your self that you will do what-ever it takes to achieve the intended results. In order for you to take the necessary action, you need to figure out what the driving force behind your desire to change is.

- Is it to become a more loving person?

- Is it to attract that special someone into your life?

- Is it so that you may acquire the beautiful home, expensive cars, and abundant lifestyle?

- Is it to have financial or time freedom?

- Is it to help other people realize their own Potential?

- Or maybe you just feel that something is missing in general and you want more out of life.

Once you take the time to really evaluate your current situation, it becomes much easier to decide what it is you need to do, and what is lacking in your life experience that is fueling your desire for that change. To facilitate a change in your life, it is imperative that you begin exactly where you are now. Start by taking 100% responsibility for the decisions, and actions that have placed you there.

Realize that yesterday cannot be changed, and tomorrow is yet to arrive. Right now in this very moment of time, is the only real place you can make any difference in your present reality. It begins with changing your thought process toward the various situations, or circumstances that you would like changed. Thought is the single most powerful force in the universe. It has created everything you can consider with your five senses and beyond.

As the saying goes "If you continue to think the same thoughts in the same way, you will keep getting what you've always gotten".

Make a commitment to yourself to think only those thoughts that are positive, Thoughts that move you forward in the direction of your goals. When a negative thought arises, simply replace it with a positive one. Start asking yourself the big (What If) questions, and allow your mind to open up to the never-ending supply of possibilities.

The only factor limiting you from having success, is the belief system that is governing your actions at this point in time. If you want things to be different, you must change your limiting beliefs. You have the power within yourself right now. You were created by the source of all things, and you have the very same power residing in your being, albeit unrealized.

Anything your mind can conceive, it can achieve. Monumental skyscrapers, beautiful works of art, everything you can see, were first constructed in the mind of their respective creator. You can build every aspect of your life in the same manner. First, you must decide what you wish to change and vow to engage your mind solely in thoughts that are empowering you to bring about that change. Only then will your eyes be open to all the wonderful possibilities this life has to offer.

Believe that you are capable of accomplishing anything you set your mind to. Jesus Once said, "with the faith of a mustard seed, we could move mountains". Just imagine how little faith it would take to remove the small obstacles in your own path, which keep you from achieving your dreams.

Finally, always keep an attitude of gratitude for all things great and small, that come into your life. You must be grateful for every situation or circumstance that comes into your life good or bad in order for expansion to take place, so that you may be able to receive, or become more. You must become more than what you are, to receive more than what you have. It is a natural law of the universe.
