Rinse and repeat.

Certainly the story about the young taxi driver created lots of interest, some thought I was to hard on him and there were those who saw the moral of the story, as in small changes repeated make a very big difference.

As to whether I was to hard on the young man, well I only had twenty minutes to talk to him and convince him of how he could change his life, I would do the same thing again.

The principle that I shared with him is really so simple, do small steps and they will lead to big changes.

Peoples inability to change is very obvious when we consider New Year resolutions, great statements slowly lost. People decide to do gym at the beginning of the year with great enthusiasm and by the end of February they have lost interest.

Why is this?

When we attempt to change with just enthusiasm and when that wanes we stop and go back to our old ways.

Our old comfortable ways are so easy to fall back into.

To make big changes in your life takes desperation or disgust, but if those emotions are not there then you have to do it the only way that will work for you, small disciplined changes.

Instead of going to the gym, just walk around the block every day, that's easy and as you enjoy it so expand your walking horizons.

Change comes by small steps which lead to big changes and fighting through all the roadblocks.

This applies to your Art and to all areas of your life.

If you will change, everything will change for you.

That is the principle that I shared with the taxi driver, his challenge was to save a little to accumulate much over time.

Yours might be the need to learn to sell, or learn about public speaking, it starts small, read a book on how to do it. Watch a video and learn how to do it then practice alone, then practice in front of loved ones until you are confident and then do it in public.

It took time to learn to ride a bike.

It took time to learn to drive a car, it will take time to learn new skills that will change your life.

Change comes by learning a little, action it into your life, acquire the skill, then learn a little more, action it into your life, acquire more skill and repeat.

Just like the shampoo bottle says, rinse and repeat.

Change comes by, learn, action, acquire, repeat.

Change will come when you decide to change.
