One thing to remember is that your current situation, whether good or bad, didn’t develop overnight. It took you your entire life, to get to where you are and who you are today.

In any given moment, a man’s growth is optimized if he leans just beyond his edge, his capacity, his fear.

It’s important to remember that in attempting to achieve change in our lives we must not overwhelm ourselves. Focus on one major area at a time, or change one thing at a time and you will see results. You can then build on your success and continue the change in the next area.
Thanks for the great article.
Take care
