Changes

Have you ever found yourself asking, "Why me? What did I do?" I'm sure you have, and if you said no, then you're lying to yourself. No one in the world leads a perfect life and anyone who thinks they have a perfect life is living in their own "Fantasy world".
 
I know I have muttered "why me" numerous times over the span of my life and I am sure I will mutter those words a 1,000 more times, and sometimes I will find out why it was me, and sometimes I may never know. What I do know is this, every time "why me" is uttered there was a lesson I had to learn.

We might not always know what the lesson is that we need to learn, since its not always black and white, nor is the answer sitting directly in front of us. However, if we take our time and open our minds and hearts there is a good chance we might get a glimmer of the lesson we need to learn.

Ask yourself "Is this a pattern? Have I done this before? What were the results?" If you answered,  "Yes! This is a pattern; I have done this before, and the results are always the same." Then most likely you have a lesson you need to learn.

If you are continually getting the same results that you have previously gotten, then I think its time you change your way of thinking or of doing things. As Albert Einstein once said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them." and he also states "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" is the definition of insanity; therefore, nothing will change, lessons will go unlearned and you will constantly keep getting the same results. You will continue to yourself "why me" over and over again until you recognize there is a problem and you actually make changes in the way you think and start to view things differently.

By making small changes over time in the way you think, you will start to see results that will lead to changes in your life, you will start to see the lessons you had to learn and you will notice you ask "why me" a lot less. The changes you make in your life can make a major impact on your life, but you need to be willing to take that first step and take control of your thoughts and decisions.
