All of the self-help seminars and books offered some good material but I still didn't seem to change in the way I wanted to. I later learned that it was because I didn't have a reason to change. I didn't have enough personal leverage on myself to force myself to change. You have to have a reason or a "WHY" must a change in order to begin the personal change process.

When it's all said and done will you be able to say that you attempted to live your life to its fullest? If you don't find a big enough reason to change your life, you won't. That's why so many celebs are in and out of rehab like a revolving door. It's a publicity stunt for some of them. They don't want real change, they're just going along with the flow.

That's how it is with all of us. The great motivational thinker and writer Earl Nightingale once said that "each man is where he really wants to be." When I first heard that I thought it was absurd. Then I really began to meditate on that statement and I realized that he was 100% correct. We are exactly where we really want to be. Think about that.

It's like you're saying"the world, my family, friends, neighbors, no one is worth the trouble of attempting to reach my full potential." " I am ok with my remote control. It controls me and I like it like that." "When my kids grow up, I will be ok looking them in the eye and saying 'son, you were not important enough for me to tear myself away from the TV so that I could provide a spectacular future for you.' "The sports channel was more important to me and that's why I am now leaving a legacy of struggle and hard work for only a few pennies a day for you." "I love you son. Have a nice life."

WHAT?! Can you possibly say that to your children? Well, if you're not stretching out to your full potential and creating a magnificent future for your family, that's exactly what you are saying. When I realized that's what I was doing to my family, I went on a mission. I determined that my kids would NEVER EVER have to work for anyone in their lives. It's just not going to happen! They will have the choice to live how and where they want to live. Hopefully, my example to them will compel to live a life of service to others. But they will not have to punch the time clock. They will not know what that feels like.

What's your Firewalk Experience? Do you have a big enough reason "WHY" you have to change? When you find that reason, you'll be able to set the world on fire.
