Time Changes Nothing

I heard this quote this morning when Oprah played back past clips of Dr. Phil. It struck me because... well, it's true. Time, in and of itself, changes nothing - no, not even the project that you want to start, the degree you want to get, that man that you think will "grow out of it" nor those childhood issues that you've been carrying all this time. Change takes preparation, work, energy, and endurance. Depending on what you want to change, you may need to take some classes, start saving money, seek counseling, get out of a relationship or repair one, reach out to someone, etc. The list is endless. The point is that you have to do something. If you want to start something new or want something different, start making those preparations today. There is nothing wrong with not being where you want to be. Not taking steps to get there today, and everyday, is another story.

So the next time you put something off, remember that time changes nothing (except your age).
