When someone says, “He/she has always been like that,” what are they implying? That old habits are really visible when you think they are hidden and out of sight? Old habits must soon die if change is desired, for true change requires something new. A new look on the outside might be the first step, but it will soon fade if something does not change on the inside. All changes, however, can be part of the package. But to truly create a new package more than the outer wrappings must change.

Sometimes it’s not the outside that matters. Sometimes the best solution is to open the package and expose its gifts and allow the inner you to fulfill its eagerness for life. A daring move to be sure! But you can do it one step at a time. Begin today.

In calmness greet the world today, confident that the gift of you, the real you, will be welcomed with open arms. But first welcome this real you into your own arms and take the first step in proving that no, you are not always like that!
