Now it'd be ludircis to think that I could become like them instantly but my mission was to start closing the gap. Start closing the gap between who I was and who I wanted to be. I'm still not sure we ever get there but that won't stop me from trying. So I started asking myself different questions. I stopped asking "what if I fail?" and started asking "what if I succeed?". I started asking myself "what's REALLY the worst that could happen if I did XYZ," and when I realized my FEAR was holding me back more then actual consequences I began to change. 

During this time I also changed the way I looked at the world. I started looking for opportunity, success and the answer YES instead of fear, failure and people trying to stop me with NO. I decided I would create opportunity for myself instead of waiting for someone else. I asked more questions, but now better questions. 

If you want to change you have to change. If you're looking for change don't look to outside sources. Don't look to others. Critique in a positive way your daily habits and begin to change them. Seek out others that have success in areas of their lives that you want success in and LEARN. And when successful people are trying to help you don't oppose them, act like a sponge and take it all in. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith, to follow blindly and always to get outside your comfort zone.

Change happens instantly but it's the decision to change that takes time. I know my decision took at least 6 months, tons of restless nights, anger and sometimes tears. But I can say... it was all worth it. The most precious thing in life is TIME. Time to discover yourself. TIME with friends and family. TIME to have amazing experiences, adventures and fun. Don't allow anyone or anything take your TIME away.
