We can't become what we need by remaining what we are. - Max Dupree

Reading this quote today really made me think. I can't expect change when I'm not doing anything to cause that change to happen. Be it exercising and eating healthy to lose weight; studying for tests, doing homework, and going to class to do well in school; or cooking meals instead of eating out, refraining from impulse purchases, and comparison shopping as often as possible to save money. All of these require changes in my behavior to accomplish. I can't logically expect my dreams to magically come true while I'm sitting around just wishing and praying for them to. I have to get up and get out there and make them happen! This week, starting TODAY, I'm going to have a goal to accomplish for each of those categories: I will eat a healthy breakfast and do at least 20 push-ups and crunches everyday, I will work on homework/study for at least 1 hour everyday, and finally I will eat at home everyday. Small steps, but eventually by adding more and more, I will accomplish all the changes and meet my goals.
