i know you want to change
i know you want better but let me tell
you something you already know
nothing is going to change
unless you change
if you want to change if you really want
to change
you need to make a statement a statement
that says no more
a statement that says never again a
statement that says
today everything is different
if you are serious about change you will
make that statement
not a statement of words a statement of
actions
make today a statement date
nothing is going to get better unless
you get better there is no planet in
which your life situation
magically changes without changing
yourself
first but that's the problem with the
world today
everyone is waiting for their situation
to get better before
they get better when this
happens it will be better if only this
happens
then my life will get better the time
for waiting
has passed if you want a greater life
it requires a greater effort from you
make today a statement date a statement
day is where you make a clear statement
not only through your words not only
through a declaration or attention
but through your actions you declare
this is who i am now whoever showed up
before this day
instead moving forward this is me
from now on this is me these
are my new standards and i will not
settle for anything less
than this new standard you are strong
enough to say no
and it's not because you are disciplined
but because that is not who you are
anymore
discipline requires mental strength and
you may well have that
but when you change your identity you
don't need mental strength
when you change how you see yourself you
don't need
mental strength you just act like a
person
you know you are this is your new
identity
and who you are is more important than
all of those
insignificant distractions who you are
going to be
is more important than all those easy
options
you have to change how you see yourself
you are no longer someone who waits
for things to change you are someone who
gets out there
and makes change happen change your
association
to who you are who you were is gone
who are you now a statement day
it's not just a statement day in one
area it's showing up
in all areas this is who i am now
this is my new identity i am not afraid
to say no
i need you because i know what is
important to me
that's what you're doing you're creating
a new identity through your actions
you are declaring who you are from this
moment
what statement do you need to make in
your life
what is a must change area in your life
do you need to improve your diet maybe
you make a statement by throwing out all
of your favorite unhealthy foods
throw them in the trash right next to
the binges
because you know you don't want that
poison in your body anymore
maybe you strengthen your statement by
declaring to your family my friends
what you are doing is statement day baby
what are you going to do to shock
everyone today what are you going to do
to shock everyone today shock everyone
including yourself push yourself in one
or more areas
beyond where you've been before set
a personal best contact five or more
people than usual
read for one hour more meditate one more
time
run one extra mile then if you have more
in the tank run another few it's
statement day
who are you from this moment
declare today the only is gone
gone forever this is the new me the new
me has new standards
these are my new standards and i live by
these standards
i don't need mental strength to say no
to easy options
because i know who i am i know my goals
i am clear about everything i want and i
won't stop
until i get it i will not settle not
one day now get out there and make a
statement
you
