Remove: Changes

Changes. If there’s one thing constant about life is that ‘change’ is inevitable. Changes happen because God purposefully removed or ended a chapter or relationship in your life. Sometimes, we need to change or remove certain things in our lives in order to mature or grow -- an item, a person or a behaviour or habit that is detrimental to us progressing and achieving our life goals. 

What do you need to REMOVE? What are some things you need to LET GO? 

Try to observe the variables around your life. What are becoming barriers or obstacle to you moving forward. For example, you wish to be fit and healthier. One of your goals is to eat less and exercise more. But you realise that you don’t have enough time to do the latter. Having time is not the problem. Look into your situation more intently. Why don’t you have enough time? What’s using all your time? If it’s working too much or spending lazy hours watching TV or surfing the internet, then that’s the root cause of the problem. Identify the root cause then solve it. You can either minimise your lazy "me-time" or remove it entirely. 

But some problems are opportunities as well. Like your job or your boss. Don’t just resign from your current job thinking that by doing so, you will be able to have more time in pursuing your goals in life. Give it a timeframe instead. How long would you like to stay in your current job hence deal with your existing boss. Solving those problems might be instrumental in moulding your competencies or even character. These will become building blocks necessary for you to achieve your goals in the future.

Just to recap, in order to change or remove certain things in your life, identify the problem, then find out the real root cause, categorise if it’s a problem to be removed or an opportunity still for growth. And finally find the solutions for these problems.
