Much of what’s written in this blog is about change; not just changing what is done and how it’s done, but changing MAP—the very essence of how and why you think and do.

Over the years I’ve been accused of making change seem simple; of minimizing what’s involved and the effort required.

So let me be very clear that I don’t minimize the difficulties, because I know first-hand how difficult it is to change. But I also know first-hand the rewards, both out-sized and small, that come from change.

Further, I know how much harder it is to do when the focus is on the difficulties instead of the methods, processes and benefits. If you want to increase the stress and obstacles of change exponentially, just keep focusing on how hard it is to change.

There is no quick fix. There is no instant gratification. It takes effort—but it’s worth it.

So take the first small step today, choose something in your MAP that you want to be different, visualize what you want it to be, lay out a plan to achieve it and start.

As Goethe said “What you can do or think you can, begin it—boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

It works. Go for it!
