change comes first when you make the effort to change yourself -- which is typically a result of changing how you SEE yourself
so rather than viewing everything as bad, start looking at what you want to do that is GOOD
flip the script . . . which happens when you "see yourself" differently
if you feel you have no chance, well . . . guess what
you must actively work on finding some "evidence" that maybe, just maybe, you do
I am sure most people have way more power than they think possible
I "proved" I was psychic because I was able to see the things about to break . . . I tried to warn what was coming but (in retrospect) this was also a function of my own ways of seeing the world
not what I saw, but how I chose to "express" what I saw
people get smarter (sometimes) as they get older; hopefully, I have "evolved" over the years, myself
but the trick is to believe you can change
and the roadblock (ironically) is listening too closely to everyone who tells you that you can't
we (collectlively) are quick to pick people apart for small things -- not seeing (or acknowledging) they are "imperfectly" moving towards something better
