On Changing Our Lives

"Change follows change. Same follows same. If you want change, you first have to become 'change' personified. Life is only a shadow of your own inner shaping. Change how you see your day. Change how you approach your day, dilemmas, problems or desired goals today. Watch how life changes toward you. You've heard that 'man cannot fix a problem with the same mind that created it.' That is true. Neither can man solve a problem with the 'same attitude' and 'same method' that has him stuck. Switch it up today. Loosen up. Experiment. Play. See what 'life changes' can happen in direct reflection of your 'self changes.' If it all truly starts 'within' then start 'within.' You cannot control outer life, but you can control your shadow––and some say that outer life is only a shadow of what you got going on inside."
