I have yet to find someone who would say
that they don’t welcome change. If you talk to people, they will always tell
you that they are apt for change. But when you closely evaluate their situation
you would rarely see that they are truly on the path of change. Change is a
desire with action.
You can’t simply desire to change; you must
be intentional about it to enable you to take action. Change can best be
described as a quest. When you go on a quest, you prepare a plan and do it.
When you go on a quest, you don’t just sit on your pan; you implement it. You
make it a reality.
Change
Starts With Desire
Change starts with the desire. You might want to change something in your present situation. Before arriving to that desire to change, you would have evaluated where you are. What prompted you to want to change? Knowing why you want change will motivate you to change.

Desire
Starts With Realisation
You need to know where you are to enable you to get to where you want to go. It is simply like finding your way in a foreign country. You look for a map in the streets or in train stations. The first thing that these maps will tell is where you are. You will find a star that says “You Are Here” and then shows the various directions to various places from your starting point, “You Are Here.”

Where
Do You Want to Go?
After knowing where you are, you can now decide where you want to go. Do you want to travel two hours by an ordinary train to get to your destination or you would prefer a bullet train and save you an hour. Do you have the means or the money to take the bullet train? Will going to a certain direction satisfy your desire?

Start
Planning
When you have decided where you want to go, you need to have a plan to ensure success. You need to evaluate your resources. If you are starting a business, you should have prepared a business plan and a marketing plan. People who desire to keep improving would normally plan to continue to learn. They plan for a formal education and an informal one. An informal education consists of personal reading of motivational books and books related to their chosen business or interest. They would also surround themselves with successful people and people with common interest and passion. They would detail this plan including the dates and amount of time needed. They would have deadlines for each specify activity or plan of action.

Take
Action
A plan to change can never happen unless you are intentional about it. Being intentional means taking action. You do everything possible to make sure you follow your plan. If your plan consists of reading at least 1 motivational book every month then by all means you must accomplish this.

We all desire change...a change for the
better. However, change will never happen if you are not intentional about it.
If you take a random survey of 10 people you see in a subway, they will always
say they want change in their life. But if you ask them they are doing to make
that change happen, it is rare that you hear detailed and intentional plans.
Do not be overcome with desire. Don’t
switch off your alarm clock and go back to sleep. Switch it off but get up for
your 6 a.m. morning jog to have an energised body that will help you get
through all your plans for the day. Be intentional if you want change to
happen.
