Det låter så enkelt

Gör dig av med negativa influenser och bli en ny, helare människa. Saka de lågpresterande korten, välj bort, kliv ur och lyfts upp. Ja, det kanske låter som om jag värmer upp med förövningar inför mina nyårslöften. Sanningen är den att det går djupare än så, djupare än att kapa centimetrar från midjan eller avstå från medel som stimulerar hjärnans belöningssystem. Jag har funderat och funnit att skall jag göra mig av med negativa influenser så bör jag börja med mig själv. Jag talar om val och om makten att välja. Väljer jag det jag vill få ut av livet eller låter jag livet välja det den vill få av mig?

John Robson skrev några intressanta rader på det temat:
1. Be clear about what you want. Have a sense of purpose. With a target to aim for, you'll know what will serve you best.
2. STOP and ASK yourself questions. "Why am I doing this? What do I want to achieve?" WRITE down your answers. Be more conscious of how you are spending your precious time, because this is your life passing by. This will help you say, "Wait! I don't want to do this anymore!"
3. Never allow yourself to play the victim. Victims have given away their power. You alone are responsible for your life. When you fully accept this, you will claim your inner power to make better choices. Change often comes from nothing more than a shift in perspective.
4. Be open to possibilities for yourself. Select one area of your life where you are unsatisfied, and choose something new, something more for yourself. Do different things and do things differently. Risk more..

Empowerment arises from the three Cs: choice, courage and change. They are yours to claim. You'll be astounded at how easy it will be to take charge once you've made up your mind to do so. You have the opportunity to create a future that's very different from your past. And remember: not choosing is also a choice.
