How Bad Do You Want To Change Your Life?

How important is it to you
for you to feel like you're making a difference?


Are you ready to begin to let go of anger, fear, frustration,
pride, resentment, and / or low self-esteem?

Are you ready to find joy, peace, happiness, success and fulfillment in your life?
To be able to cherish these experiences and share them with your loved ones?
To learn how to make them truly last
and not fade away after an hour, a day, or a week or two?

What would it take to get you out of bed in the morning
with enthusiasm and excitement for the day ahead,
instead of a sense of dread and foreboding,
to live life to its fullest, instead of just getting by,
to begin to pursue your wildest dreams
(including the ones you gave up on long ago),
to truly believe that a better life is possible for YOU?

If you even have just a HOPE to see things get better in your life,
then you're ready, RIGHT NOW, to begin the
CHANGE YOUR STARS QUEST!




Our prayers are answered
not when we are given what we ask,
but when we are challenged to be what we can become.


Morris Adler



To change one's life:
Start immediately.
Do it flamboyantly.
No exceptions
!


William James



If you don't change your beliefs,
your life will be like this forever.
Is that good news?


Douglas Adams

 


Over many years I've conducted extensive research, coming across a variety of materials and resources that have given me encouragement to overcome the toughest of times, to continue on even in the face of very tough opposition, and to never give up on my dreams.  Like many of you I've stumbled, I've fallen, and I've managed to pick myself back up, most of the time with the help of someone else.  When I pulled myself back up I was OK for awhile, but somehow it just wasn't enough.  When someone else helped me back up THAT'S when a change appeared in my life.  That's when miracles happened, most of the time small miracles, but miracles just the same!

I've learned that by myself I have a finite, but still viable, ability to make a difference in the world.  But you are a part of my world as well.  As long as your stars haven't changed my work isn't done.  More specifically, OUR work isn't done.

Have you ever thought about the difference between "Inspiration" and "Motivation"?  Someone or something may inspire me to do something, but no matter how wonderful or exciting it may be it's still up to me to motivate myself to achieve it.  I might inspire you from any one of the messages I share every day in Change Your Stars! but it's still up to you to motivate yourself and apply that inspiration in your life.  So, ultimately, the motivation to change must come from within each of us.  It's also known as "The Fire That Burns Within".

As I said earlier, I have a finite, but still viable, ability to make a difference in the world.  However, working together we can make INFINITE miracles happen all around us, for ourselves AND others.

Will you join me?

Besides offering insight and inspiration from this website I wish to connect you to other websites and resources I believe can expand our shared vision, our shared QUEST!

I invite you, too, to share with me what's worked for you, from websites to books and magazines, speakers to media programs, quotes to lectures, and I'll review them and pass them on right here.


Ready to CHANGE YOUR STARS?
Then let's get started ... TOGETHER!




   
MENTORING  for THE QUEST!

Here's where we'll see THE QUEST! really begin to pay off for us.

If you prefer to work on THE QUEST! on your own that's perfectly fine.  I just happen to believe, from personal experience, that something like this is much more fulfilling for everyone concerned when we share the experience with someone else.  I believe we need to help each other in order to find true fulfillment.  As the Beatle's put it, "I get by with a little help from my friends".

In order for THE QUEST! to really work for us we need to reach out to someone else, someone we trust, someone we look up to for their standards and values.  This person, if they accept, will become our Mentor.

Age doesn't matter ... they may be older or younger than us.  They may be a parent, a brother or sister, or a close friend.  Someone who you believe in and who believes in you.


Follow these steps:

1.    Familiarize and surround yourself with uplifting materials: books, CD's (music as well as spoken word),
magazine articles, information from websites I've listed on the Links & Partners page, etc.)
2.    Begin a searching inventory of your heart and soul ... what REALLY matters to you?
3.    Write down the results in a journal.
4.    From these journal entries develop your dreams and goals, and enter these in your journal as well.
5.    Find a mentor you can trust and follow.
6.    Share your dreams and goals with your mentor and TOGETHER work out a plan to create miracles in your life.
7.    Check in with your mentor REGULARLY and ask them to check in with you REGULARLY to monitor your progress.
8.    Be patient with yourself and don't allow negative thoughts to enter your mind.
9.    Stay focused.
10.  Remember who you are
and remind yourself that you DO deserve to have joy, peace, happiness, success and fulfillment in your life.
