The 3 C's in life...choices, chances and change

The 3 C's in life… choices, chances, and changes 

You must make a choice to take a chance, or your life will never change.

It's as simple as that. Sometimes, we feel stuck, we feel like we don't have a choice or that our lives will never change. 

But it's more about fear, fear of the unknown, and fear of change. I know because I allowed fear to rule my life for years. I moaned about wanting change, but I was too afraid to do anything about it. 

It wasn't until I made a choice to change. When I finally became sick and tired of being sick and tired, it was then I made a choice to change. I took that chance, and I jumped into the unknown, throwing my fear out the window. I knew if I stayed that it would kill my soul. So, I had to make a change to literally save my life. 

Look, I get it. Change is scary. We are creatures of habit, we like things to stay the same, it's comforting for us. But in order to grow, we must change. And change is not always a bad thing. Change can be an incredible journey. It can open up your world to things you would have never thought of, never dreamed of.

I've had more change in the last 10 years since my divorce than in my whole life. And yes, sometimes it's been really scary, but I refused to let fear keep me stuck. I kept pushing myself to step out of my box. I kept saying to myself, "You're not going to die because you're scared." You won't die of embarrassment, so then just do it. I have done and learned so much since I started practicing the 3 C's.

I would have never done a triathlon as I was afraid of swimming. I would have never jumped out of a plane as I was afraid of heights. I would have never walked on fire if I didn't change my mindset about myself, that I could do anything I set my mind to. I changed everything I thought about from I can't to I can. Listen, people, this is just a mindset, and your mind can do incredible things if you let it. Just like I spoke about in yesterdays blog about my friend who is 80 and trained her mind to never let her body throw up. Just as it can do incredible things, it can also keep you stuck in fear when you listen to that track in your head.

So today my friends, remember the 3 C's. You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change and if you know me or follow me you know I always say at the end of every blog… be the change you want to see.

It's all up to you.
