For many of
us 2013 represents a fresh start. Having
an opportunity to improve on the things we neglected in 2012. An opportunity to create some changes in our
lives be it our physical health, mental health and even our spirituality. It represents the idea of making some changes
in our habits, our drive and our will.
And for others it represents having to adapt to change. Change in our lives that may come from our
spouses, our children, our jobs and in some instances our entire
surroundings.
So we gear ourselves for all of it
and we tell ourselves that we’re ready, so we think. For many of us, change represents our biggest
fears. It means that we will have to
challenge ourselves to step out of the norm.
It means that we may have to let someone go. Change represents having to adapt to a whole
new way of thinking and living. And for
many of us, this change represents the fear of losing control over the things
we care about the most.
So what do we do? The truth is that change is inevitable. Change is what allows us and those we love to
grow. It allows us to become creative,
inventive and it thickens our skin. We
become more resilient and head strong because of it. Some may say that approaching change with a
positive attitude will be enough. Or
that we should hang in there and allow time to heal and everything will go back
to normal soon enough.
For me personally, I can honestly
say that I’ve had a lot of changes in my life like most of you have. And I’ve always embraced it. Initially, I feared it. There have been times when I’ve struggled
letting go. Having to start all over
again and fearing of what my future would be.
And what I’ve learned in these moments when fear is getting bigger than
my faith is to take action. I’ve learned
to move forward. Yes, with a positive
attitude, but not by waiting for things to happen. And every time I’ve taken action, I have
never second guessed myself. I have
never over analyzed anything for too long.
I’ve realized where I was at that very moment and I’ve taken full
responsibility to see it through.
So if you’re currently experiencing
some changes in your life that are challenging you, it is really important that
you take action today. Don’t wait for
conditions to be perfect. Find balance
with your timing and your resources and seek opportunity. Otherwise, it is really easy to miss out on these
opportunities when we sit and wait.
Taking action is the key to conquering your fear. Always remember that there are no quick fixes
or magic bullets. You’re going to have
to work for it and you’re going to have to be patient while you’re
transitioning. Just keep pushing forward
and don’t fight it. Learn to let
go. You’re going to be fine. You’ve come this far, you’ll make it happen.
In closing, I want to wish all of
you a fantastic 2013 year. Embrace
whatever changes come your way and always take action on your lives. Don’t get stuck. Always seek solutions and don’t just focus on
the problems. Be creative and don’t ever
give up. You owe it to yourself to be
happy and to be strong. And most
importantly, you deserve it. Please
remember not to allow fear to be bigger than your faith.
To your health & success,
Marco Gamez
