Try Something Different

Most people are stuck right where they are. The reason they're stuck,
however, isn't usually due to circumstances, incompetence, or lack of
opportunity, but a simple unwillingness to change, to try new things.
   
We can make smaller, inner changes on a day-to-day, moment to moment
basis - changes in our attitude, reactions, and expectations. I'm talking
about being willing to take new risks, and face old fears.

Over and over again I hear people saying things like "I've always done
things that way" or "That's just the type of person I am." These things are
said as if they are carved in stone. It is amazing what you can learn by
simply opening your mind and trying new things.

 Starting today, tell yourself that you are going to do something, however
small, a little differently. Perhaps you can be more friendly to the people
you work with. Maybe it's not too late to overcome your fear of asking
others to help you, or for their advice whoever you are, whatever you do,
there is always something you can do a little differently.

 You may find that you love the tiny changes you make and that you can open
exciting new doors by making relatively small adjustments. If you're okay
with the changes, you might want to try some other changes as well.
