One day I decided to change my life.
To become healthy, wealthy and popular—just like that. Well, it took some pondering on my purpose first.
Now my automatic online business gives me a 7 figure income; I’m stress-free and I don’t need to work anymore…
Just kidding. My life is not a fairy tale.
The problem was… I didn’t know how to change. I am still not 100% sure I know.
I started to search the ways out to a bright future. I faced another obstacle—the only advice to change someone’s life includes half mystical methods, such as affirmations, law of attraction, visualizations, “manifesting”, meditation and a lot of similar stuff.
Yikes! I’m pragmatic, a “down to earth” person. I don’t believe such crap.
But skeptics had no answers for me. All they had to say was: “Live your life as it is and hope it will not get worse”.
Another problem (life seems to be full of them, doesn’t it?)—I didn’t believe I could change. I am still not 100% sure I can.
So I searched more and I came to some conclusions:
– Despite the ridiculous language I found, there is something to this whole “hocus-pocus” stuff
– The big gurus’ formulas are not directly applicable to my situation of an extremely busy bread-winner, parent, spouse and Christian
– The big gurus are not so great to mimic after all. Integrity is such a forgotten virtue nowadays
– If I do nothing, nothing will change. Ever. And because I desire the change I’ll try anything
So I’m trying.
And I got some results. Changes. Things I never did before:
I lost some weight and I’m the fittest I’ve ever been in my life.
I helped my son to go from mediocre grades to finishing a school year with honors.
I more than doubled my savings.
I became a self-published author.
I started a couple of blogs and a website.
I read about 66% faster than a year ago.
I have friends all around the globe.
I wake up every day with hope.
I expanded.
It’s possible to change my life.
It’s possible to change your life.
It’s great to see how personal development has impacted your life Michal,
It has also been a major change agent in mine and I can hardly imagine what life would be like without it.
I’m curious to see you grow over the coming years.
Btw, I do also believe there’s a lot of BS surrounding personal development but if you want to read more into visualization I’d recommend psycho-cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz (this has greatly impacted my life)
It’s basically about how our mind determines our life
Anywaay, take care man!
Thanks for stopping by Simon.
I find your blog very interesting, but I can’t comment, till you will my first comment out of the spam queue (Aksimet doesnt’t like my domain).
I read Maltz’s book. It made me to start visualization habit.
I’m curious too 😉
Haha, yeah I found your comment in the spam queue! (don’t check that one that often)
How come askimet filters your site as spam? You should send them a mail or something that you’re legit, just my advice 😉
Anyway, great meeting you.
Take care,
