My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

How to Change
If we begin by listing reasons why we cannot change, it should be no surprise when nothing happens. You may increase your frustration and become frightfully angry, but you have answered the question. By listing whatever might go wrong, you have assumed an obligation to make it true. Better to decide what you want and find ways to make it occur.
