It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow.

~Ralph Ellison (1914-1994)

This begs for a few minutes of reflection.

Addressing life in all areas.

Take a moment to breathe.

*

Commitment, Character, Truth, Integrity...all amazing attributes that are displayed every day in our ordinary lives. All attributes that we can strive to find a little more of in our lives as well.

*

While taking time to reflect today, really think about what it means to your life to change and grow. I have seen amazing things happen in my own life and those in my circle. Things that were even approached with a little skepticism on the side but were willing to do the work. Maybe feel that change isn't ahead of you these days...at the very least offering a smile or kind word to someone new can be very rewarding to those on the receiving end :-)

*

Changes great or small, whether it is related to food, exercise, works, spouse, kids or friendships...give yourself the opportunity make the commitment.

It feels great to be alive! ~j
