Slight Changes

"Every day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference." - Mignon McLaughlin, writer

There is always hope. That's what this quote says to me. I've been making little changes in my life for years now. It doesn't seem like these slight adjustments are going to make much of a difference when I first get started on a new change. But as time goes by, these adjustments help me move in a different direction. The path I'm on now is completely different from the path I was on fifteen or twenty years ago. It's very exciting!

When I think about this statement, the one concern I have pertains to the phrase "on the verge of making those slight changes".  If I remain "on the verge" and don't take action, then I will not be able to change and learn and grow spiritually and emotionally. I can "think" about changing all day long, but the results come from hard work and action. I know that doing the footwork allows me to make progress in all of my pursuits.

Today I will not remain "on the verge"; today I will make those changes!
