You Can Change Today

You Can Change Today

By Steve Pavlina

Let’s consider four different variations(ˌve(ə)rēˈāSHən) on the title of this post, each emphasizing(ˈemfəˌsīz) a different word.

YOU Can Change Today

You are the driving force of change in your life. You don’t have to wait for something external(ikˈstərnl) to happen first. You don’t need anyone else’s permission(pərˈmiSHən). If some part of your life is going to change, it’s up to you and you alone(əˈlōn).

…

Change is personal.

You CAN Change Today

Even when you don’t see it, you still have the ability to create change. Change is always a possibility. You’re not stuck in a tunnel(tunnel). There are exits all around you at every point. You can stop, leave, or change course.

…

There’s a way to change now.

You Can CHANGE Today

Living today the same as you did yesterday is optional. Today could be a little different. Today could be radically(ˈradək(ə)lē) different.

Sometimes change happens to us. A big event occurs, and it grabs our attention and makes us focus elsewhere. The shift in focus creates change.

…

What will you do today that you’ve never done before?

That idea that just popped into your head…

The one you just tried to suppress…

Yup, that one…

Yes, really….

What if you did it today?

You Can Change TODAY

Your power to create change exists now, in the present moment. Change doesn’t happen yesterday or tomorrow, only today. Every yesterday and every tomorrow exists beyond the realm(relm) of change. But today is always within that realm.

…

It’s good to remind yourself direct action can make today a day of change.

What part of you wants to change today?
