The greatest secret of change is to bring yourself into the present moment and to immediately take action.
How can we do this?
Change doesn't come easy. In fact, true long-lasting change comes at a price of devoting your entire life to taking daily steps. While we can make small changes on the spot, to make significant tectonic shifts in your life you will have to employ a completely different set of tactics than you used before.
The past will hold you down and the future will show you the greatest mirage of a place "where it all turns out." Both of these places are incredibly dangerous because they keep us from being in action in the present moment. Even though we can go there in our heads, we have to avoid living in these places at all costs.
Change isn't easy. In fact, change is incredibly difficult. To prove my point, did you know that 92% of people who make New Years Resolutions fail in accomplishing them? That number is astronomical. That number is so big that it makes you really want to ask the question "What in the world is broken with that type of thinking?"
So what can you do to make sure that you're successful?
When it comes down to it, it's actually pretty simple. Focus on one thing, every day, to make yourself a little bit better compared to the day before and do that for as long as you can. Don't get obsessive about the quantum leap where everything changes all at once - it is a lie. That's a "New Years Resolution" way of thinking. Instead, focus on the daily tasks you can perform and over a period of time you will change more than you could really ever imagine.
Change one day at a time. Change for the rest of your life.
Do it now.
