I hear a lot of people say, that they cannot do something, or live a certain way because of X,Y,and Z. Many people say that they can't eat healthier because they are always on the go, they are too busy. They say they can't pray or mediate, because they do not have time. Some say they would be happier if people were nicer, if they got paid more, etc.

All of these things can be changed if the person is willing. The reason you cannot do something, or live your life a certain way, is because of you. Sure, there are many other factors to consider for certain individuals in extreme situations, but for the rest of the population, it is in their/your control. Make time, not excuses.

I find myself in this trap all the time, but am working on correcting my immediate thoughts. Next time you see someone else doing something you want to do, or living their life the way you dream to, make a move. If you don't direct your life where you want it to go, the world will do it for you, and it will leave you feeling unfulfilled and full of regret. It is never too late to change your habits, and create healthy new ones for the life you've always dreamed.
