Change is the most difficult thing in the world to master for most people. The thought of change means stepping out of that comfort zone and when that happens, something just doesn’t feel right. That is the one thing that makes it so hard. Human beings are creatures of habit. In some cases that can be good and in others, not so good.

If it were possible to change one thing in your life…What would that be? How would you go about it? How would your life be different?

Have you ever made a promise to someone and didn’t keep it? Have you ever broken a promise? If not…Congratulations. If you have never broken a promise, I find that very hard to believe. Maybe you’ve kept your promises to other people, but what about to yourself? Have you ever broken a promise to yourself. Why is that so much easier to do?

I’ll tell you one way to change something about yourself. Start keeping your self promises. Make yourself a promise in the morning and keep it all day long. Do this often. You will find that it will be easier to direct your promises towards changing the thing you want to change.

Most of the time when I ask a person what they would change about their life they say, “I’d want to make more money,” or “I’d be wealthy.” What brought them to that point? What might be different if they had changed their way of thinking? Were they poverty conscious or prosperity conscious?

I believe that my actions up to this point in my life have landed me right where I’m at. If I had done things different, it’s obvious that I would be somewhere else. Changing what we do now and how we think today, will have a drastic effect on what happens tomorrow.

Where will you be at next year? Or in 5 years? Still working for someone? Still smoking? Still miserable? Or happy and fulfilled?

The best time to make a decision to change is NOW.

In March we attended an event in Cancun Mexico. We arrived on a Monday afternoon, checked into the Moon Palace resort, found our room and took a tour of the grounds. This resort is fantastic. It is an all inclusive resort located right on the beach in Cancun. The service was so excellent, we actually set a goal to see if it were possible to walk by an employee without them saying, “hola.” We failed to achieve our goal.

The event itself was nothing short of inspiring. We heard from Dick Hoyt, who shows his love and compassion for his son while demonstrating his tremendous desire to go the extra mile. His son, Rick, had been tangled with the umbilical cord, at birth, which confined him to a wheel chair for the rest of his life. To make a long story short, Rick was given the opportunity to speak through a computer and told his parents that when he is running, it feels like he isn’t handicapped. Since then, they have been in many marathons and triathlons across the nation and have overcome tremendous obstacles along the way. Truly inspiring. The crowd cheered through tears of inspiration for Team Hoyt.
We also heard from Patrick Combs and Deanna Latson. David Neagle had a near death experience of being sucked through a dam. After that experience he devoted his life to helping others realize their true potential with the simple concept, JUST BELIEVE. Patrick Combs was told over and over again that he would never achieve his goals and that he should give up. For more than a decade he has dedicated his career to helping people live with more courage, passion, inspiration and meaning. Deanna touched on some permanent lifestyle changes that will improve health and wellbeing. Her inspiration was to save her Dad’s life, and in turn has helped so many more.

In addition to hearing from these inspiring speakers, we had some play time. We rented a wave runner and hit the waves in the ocean. Talk about being sore afterwards. Also we rented some little two seat-er speed boats , cruised through water channels and snorkeled in the reef. How often do most people get to do that or even have the time, freedom, and money to vacation in exotic locations like this? We plan on doing it again this coming October in Hawaii during our next event. And since this blog is fairly new I will update you on the last Liberty Conference in Puerto Rico.

At the end of every event is a black tie event. This event closes things out with a wild night of fun and entertainment. This is truly an amazing community of individuals we are part of. A room full with thousands of entrepreneurs who are living the lives of their dreams and it all comes down to a choice they made to get started. Already this year I have taken more vacations then I was ever able to take before I made this incredible life-changing choice.
