From Hope To Change
Around the world today there is a new
feeling permeating the air. From the small village in Africa to my home
town here in Australia, the feeling that is bringing the world together
is an unprecedented sense of HOPE - Hope for ourselves as individuals,
hope for our families, hope for our nations and ultimately, hope for
our global community.
As we move forward, many will begin to ask - "How can we transform this sense of hope into real and long lasting change?"
I pondered this question in the early hours of the morning and
gradually formulated the following picture. I sincerely believe that
this diagram is as applicable to individuals attempting to transform
their personal circumstances, as it is to nations attempting to
transform their destiny:
As you can see, this Cycle of Change begins with
elevated hopes. When we have hope in our hearts for a period of time,
we begin to believe in the possibility of a brighter future. This sense
of belief is the fuel that then drives us to take action.
Through repeated and sometimes difficult action, we
gradually achieve visible results. Over time, it is these results that
lead to long lasting change. The true magic of this cycle is that when
we see and experience tangible change, our hopes are elevated to a
higher level and the cycle begins anew.
Today I'd like to encourage you to nurture your
feelings of hope and be willing to believe in a brighter future for
yourself and your family. I encourage you to use your sense of belief
to propel yourself into action. Start today and begin to accumulate the
results that will lead to real and lasting change in your life.
When you truly understand the Cycle of Change there really is no limit to what you can achieve...
