A Year Can Change Everything
from Sparkle and Grow · host Erika Wonders Melvin
We're back! And I have some great stuff for you! I'm going to be recording several episodes over the next few days/weeks and we're going to be diving in to tranformations and reinvention. I'm sharing how my life has changed dramatically since last year and the lessons I have learned along the way. Today's episode is all able how your life really can change in just ONE year. Think about where you were this time last year. What did your life look like? What were you worried about? What were you hoping would change (or mabye not change)? Then, imagine someone had told you that twelve months from that moment, your life would look completely different. Would you believe them? Odd are, you couldn't see the future version of yourself from where you were standing. Change doesn't happen overnight, but it sure can happen in one year! one decision → one action → one more action → another decision → repeat And twelve months is a long time. Long enough to: learn a skill change careers improve your finances repair your credit build a business get healthier move make new relationships establish new habits completely change your direction Not necessarily all of them. But any one of them can change the trajectory of your life. The one part we don't talk enough about: you have to start before you see the evidence. And that's messy! You don't have to know exactly where you'll be in a year to begin moving today. Which might seem contradictory to the idea of starting on a journey-you have to have a destination in order to being planning a route, right? But… What if you give yourself one year? Today, write down three things. Where am I right now? Where would I love to be one year from now? What is one thing I can do this week to move toward it? Not 25 things. One. Then next week, another. You are not stuck. Your timeline isn't fixed. You can change your mind. You don't have to be married to the how. You don't need to consume more—you need to act. And above all: Your life can look radically different a year from now. Recommended reading: Darren Hardy "The Compounding Effect"
