3 obligatory steps you must take to start a change in your life… May 13, 2008

There are many blogs and books about living a better life. I won’t say that mine is different, but I’d like to share with you all my experiences. I just begin my way to happiness and personal success (yes… it’s not my first beginning, but this time it’s something deep inside of me).

I’ve tried many times to change my life and sometimes these were quite a promising beginnins, but now I need not only to start, but also to make it! I’d say I’m desperate about it, but it’s not a good word. I rather say I’m deeply convinced that I WILL (please notice the difference between “I can” and “I will”) go through all the way without any major mistakes and breakdowns.

I’d like you to go with me and that’s what this blog is about!

Ok. Let’s get to the point.

Here are the THREE ESSENTIAL THINGS everyone should do to step on his way to better living:

1. Make a decision!

Yes. I know it sounds obvious, but everytime I thought about making my life better I ended up with nothing more ’bout the dreams, sweet dreams… You can say to yourself “well… it’s time… I need to make a change in my life… I’ll do it…”. I did it so many times before. But since you don’t make a final decision it’s nothing more than just words. I mean it! So make a decision and make NOW! Literally now, while you’re reading this post!

2. Clean up your desk!

Every major change inside of you must start with the cleaning all the mess around you. You have to clean you desk, you room, your apartment, your relationships with people… Your inner-self. Start with your desk. The mess will always distract you and will stop you from taking an action. But remember: nothing comes “just because”, without the action and consequence. Do not expect a miracle (I mean that the decision itself will change your life), just start with little things. You’ve made a decision a few moments ago so now it’s time for you to stop reading this and clean your desk. Then please get back to this post ;)

3. Start writing a blog!

Just follow me. I’ve never done this before (well… of course I’ve got another blog and had some other in the past, but none of them was about my attempts to become better human being), but I feel (wrong! I KNOW!) that this is what I need to follow my own footsteps. If you wonder why I’ve got an answer for you: running a diary, day after day, will help you to see you growth and to keep going on. For sure you may write everything down in the paper notebook or scrapbook. The difference is that your blog will by exposed to the public view, right? Everyone can read it… This is what will motivate you and remind you that you have something important to do. That’s why I’ve started my online diary.

So start a blog and make a promise to yourself that you’ll post at least 5 times a week - leave one free day just for yourself and another one for any unpredictable situations. But this is an absolute minimum. If you can post 6, 7 or even more times a week.

All right. I hope It will help you (and me) to start a Big Change In Our Lifes.

PS. If you start a blog about your way to better living (or you already have one) please don’t hesitate to post it’s address in the comments below and I’ll add it to my blog roll. Let’s get through it together.
