Human world is an interesting one if you take a closer look at it.

Most of our lives we spend being locked up in a very tight cell with walls built out of our own limiting beliefs and, what's even more interesting, we don't even realize it.

I mean, just think about it for a second.

You're born. As you grow and gain your own understanding of what's going on, you realize that nothing is impossible.

Everything is easy.

Your dreams are sky high and your hopes are even higher. Everything seems doable and nothing seems to be able to stop you once you put your mind to it.

You're a child.

Then, as you keep maturing your parents teach you that certain things are impossible. Pretty quickly you learn that some things are difficult to get. You realize you can't be who you want to be because you're just…

…not smart enough.

You start seeing that your life and what you can get out of it is limited and, what's worse, you start believing that not everything is possible. Some things are just out of your reach and some people are just luckier than you.

This is about when you start putting up the main walls of your limiting belief system. This is when you start building the prison cell you're going to spend the rest of your life in.

Now, because you're human and we, as humans, have a wonderful ability to adapt to pretty much any set of circumstances, pretty soon you get used to living in a world that's full of limitations.

Soon you stop dreaming of being who you've always wanted to be and your main goal is just to get by. It's not long before your dreams are knee high to a duck and your hopes are even smaller.

You start living from paycheck to paycheck and… you like it that way. After all, your job gives you security, right?

Now, because that security is pretty much all you really want in life, you naturally detest change. You know that…

…change means lack of security.

So, there you are. Stuck within your limiting beliefs, pacing around and around just to make ends meet, with no way out because every opportunity to expand your consciousness and turn down the walls of your home-made prison is considered to be a threat.

Just think about it for a second, though. Is change really a threat?

Of course it's not. If you take the time to go back and analyze your life, you'll quickly realize that the best things, the things you enjoyed the most took place as a result of change.

I mean, you were happily single, just minding your own business and…

…suddenly…

…you met that woman (or that guy). The world starts spinning and… you're in love.

Change.

Then, you date. You like to go see movies, eat ice cream, take horse riding classes, do acting together, talk, read books, hike…

…you just have fun.

Then one day, you decide you're going to get married. It sounds scary at first but you decide to go for it.

Again, change.

So, you're married and you have never been happier. It feels incredible to know that you're now part of a family. You feel completely safe and secure, and then one night she says she's pregnant with twins.

Change.

You're frightened for a moment, but then you realize that it's going to be a fun adventure and it'll work out just fine.

Of course, you're right. The kids get born, they grow up and as soon as you learn to tell which one is which you realize that they're the greatest little things that have ever walked the earth.

You can't imagine your life without them.

See, every time there's change in your life, there's a period of fear or uncertainty. It is there because you don't really know what that change will bring.

Pretty soon you realize that most changes are good to you, though and… there's no need to be afraid of them.

Now, let's think about what would happen if instead of kicking change out as soon as it enters your little room, you decided to go for it and welcome it?

My thinking is that if you treated change as something positive instead of being afraid of it, you'd soon realize that your life is richer, more fulfilling and… infinitely more exciting.

See, change gets you out of your comfort zone. It gets you to do things that you have never done before . It helps you to develop as a person and… it makes you realize that your limiting beliefs are completely wrong.

It's change that helped people make the fortunes they made. It's change that is the mother of all invention. It's change that makes it possible for you to be creative.

Another great thing about change is that it really is all good for you.

Of course you might be unable to see why it's good for you when it first takes place, but change will lead you to actions and those actions will lead to greater improvement of yourself and your life.

Of course, to really be able to utilize change for the best, you have to understand something.

You have to realize and always remember that you are the one that's in charge of what's going on in your life. People might want to influence your decisions, they might tell you that something you want to do is not a good idea. They might tell you that the plan you have will never be successful, but guess what…

• They laughed at Walt Disney telling him that he didn't have enough creative ideas, yet he moved on to create countless characters that have become icons of our culture.

• They made fun of Michael Jordan and kicked him out of his high school basketball team before he went on to play for NBA and become one of the most widely recognized people in the sports industry.

• They told Thomas Edison that he was too stupid to learn anything when he was at school, and now he has more patents to his name than any other man in history.

You see what I am trying to get at here?

It doesn't matter what people do or say to you. You're in charge, and although others can influence your life in ways that might cause your stomach to twist in knots, it's you who can take whatever happens (be it positive or negative) and utilize it for your benefit.

As long as you always welcome change, as long as you are not afraid of it, it'll lead you to outcomes you've never thought of. It'll help you get the riches beyond your wildest desires. It will lead you to realize your wildest dreams.

It will make it possible to become whoever you'd like to be.

Remember, that it's impossible for you to see what the Universe has in store for you, but if you always accept what's coming your way, if you always welcome it with open arms, you'll learn how to use the unlimited power you possess to get pretty much anything you want.

You'll have access to things you've never heard of. You'll realize that your mind is extremely powerful and able to get you through any hardship or difficulty. You'll notice that you're as powerful as you want to be and…

…nothing will be impossible to you.

For that to happen, though, you have to welcome change, and that means that you will have to change what you have always thought of the world around you. See, to fully accept change, you need to tear down those walls of limiting thinking and… really go for whatever tomorrow brings.

Let me give you an example to illustrate my point better, OK?

Let's say you've been employed by a corporation and you've worked for them for 25 years. You're now about fifty and they're letting you go.

You have two options here.

You can either break down and start worrying, thinking that it's impossible to get a new, decent job at this age (which is a limiting belief) or simply realize that this is just change, everything will be fine and you'll figure something out.

If you're positive and excited about what's going to happen to you, you'll invite events, people and circumstances into your life that will change it forever!

You'll face difficulties in your life. You'll face troubles. You'll face change that you'd wish you never had to go through, but…

…just enjoy it and you'll see your life improving greatly from it.

Remember that no matter what happens, you'll grow from the change in your life no matter what it is. The growth might be rapid or it might be slow, it might be pleasant or rather painful, but it will be very beneficial to you in the end.

I know it, because I've studied my own life. I've gone through a whole lot of hardships, difficulties and… change. I wouldn't trade it for anything else!
