The one thing that I would change is to finally realize my dream of doing something work related in the fitness field, I have been given so much that I want to give back. I don’t need to be wealthy, I am far richer than most and not in a material way. I have a incredible family and wonderful friends and they have helped me to become the person I am today.
I would change my husband defenetly
The change i would like is to actually put the things i wanna do in my head in action, i keep telling myself everyday that i have to hit the gym, practice the guitar, play a few scales on the bass and give my vocal cords some good workout. However thats all in the head … the minuite i get home i hit the sack watch a movie and go to sleep … if i could change that and do all the things in my head it would be BRILLIANT !
So for starters i wanna get that thought of my head that i have already lost that no matter what i do i wont be thinner or that my music aint gonna make a difference. I need to change that attitude that what ever i do would be a positive influence. Its the fact that I feel good about myself that counts and not the fact that i have to please the world around me.
My mind, there is no doubt about it. I would change my way of thinking, to get it closer to reality, one which does not depend on us, but exists in itself…Truth,that is The Person who created everything, who existed forever and who is going to judge all things and all people in the end. The only way of doing this is of course through Him, who holds all power. So, what I intend to do to achieve the change is try to know Him better, love Him more and follow His will closer. Anything less is not worth.
Hi..
It would have to be my head! If I could cheat and have two things, then it would be a partner to help me beat this thing! However, my head is my enemy and I have been fighting it all my life. It’s a wonderful head most of the time, I do great things with it, and it has helped me help lots of other people. But it always seems to let ME down. It tells me I am rubbish and not worth helping. It tells me how far I have to go, and not how far I have come. It makes me feel achievements are out of reach. And what I am doing is writing this down now, this is already helping, just simply making it quite public. Do other people feel like this? Is it just me? I am sure I am like many many other people out there, sabotaging our own efforts time after time after time. Good luck to you all, and I am as interested to see where this “change” takes others as I am for myself! love Tracey
The thing I wish to change in my life is being consistent. I tend to go after what I want and then, sometimes, back off a little bit and let it fall by the wayside. Then I pick up again full steam ahead. I want to have the passion all the time! I am going to accomplish this change by taking each goal and working on it like it’s to completion that day. Accomplishing it each day will help me be more consistent in my efforts and will help me complete my goals!
I would change how I feel about myself – I would learn to like myself. For too long I have not enjoyed life because I don’t like me. What I can do and what I need to do to change this are the two things that have kept me from attaining my goal. I have tried a number of programs that promise to help my self esteem, but I just can’t get around the fact that I can’t believe the good things they try to get me to believe about myself. I continue to look for the program that works – that will change my life by helping me like me.
I want to stop loosing my motivation! I sometimes get this burst of energy, then after a few weeks i fall back into this lazy pattern where i find excuses for not doing anything, not working out, not eating healthy. And when that happens i also get so mad at myself and say things like i hate my body, i hate my face and so on.. The reason i wanna change that, and be able to be positive all the time, is that it really hurts my boyfriend when i say negative things. And if screw it up with him..theres no way ill ever get motivation for anything again. And i would also change that feeling i get everytime someone wants to take me swimming… I feel like i just cant. The way i am no theres NO WAY im letting anyone see me in a swimsuit..i dont think ive wore one since i was like 13. It would be nice to be able to look forward to a vacation again..
my negative self talk, being consistent, consistenty and
go after my dream of salad express.
HEATHLY FOOD, FAST.
thanks for helping me clarify!

Hi, I’m Yossi, and I’d love to make the Messiah materialize, who is part of my religious belief as a Jew.That’s special, because there will be no more war illness, poverty, only peace, health and harmony. What am I actually doing?Becoming a better person daily, including seeing a naturopath and therapist, to help become a better person.I’m enrolling in course, to help me change from an average PT, to an awesome one.
Would love to change my attitude and cravings for more food all the time. I realize it’s a mental thing and would love to get rid of that craving once and for all.
Change? I know where I want to be but have never had an open mind to get there. Or to do what it takes to get there. I have all of these resources out there to take information from, but have never taken advantage of them.
That’s what I would change. Use the knowledge from others who have had success in their lives and to implement the ideas in my life.
This will allow me to be a better person every day.
If I could change anything right now it would be my mind. I always used to be so positive and if I said I was going to do something, I did it. Now, I’m my own worst enemy. I say I’m going to work out and eat right and get off the 45 pounds I have gained. But that stinkin thinkin always gets in my way. I know that is my problem, but for some reason I can’t seem to change it and get my old mind and body back.
If I could change anything in my life now, it would be the quality of life I have left to live. Since I was a child of 9 or 10, I’ve tried to find my place in this life, my gifts & talents, my path to follow, how to live my life successfully with love & happiness. Any yet, I haven’t achieved any of it. At the age of 50, I find myself alone & without any real friends in my life (save for being part of a wonderful family). I’ve only had one realtionship at the age of 41, lasting about a year & leaving me with a broken heart & no explanation or closure. Virtually all my attempts with employment have resulted in being used & abused by employers, with promises broken. I have no savings, no retirement & any social security I have to look forward to will hardly pay for groceries or electricity. I’ve tried many paths to a better & happier life, but I’ve been disappointed by everything I’ve tried. Nothing has ever lived up to it’s promise or guarantee, money-back notwithstanding. I just want to follow a path that really does shine forth & enlighten my body,mind, spirit & soul.
If I could instantaneously change something in my life, it would be my fear of success. I am at present still trying to complete my courses that I am taking through ISSA, but I have had these courses for 2 years almost and I still have not finished them. I NEED to change that in me. I need to finish getting my self in shape. I know I have the stamina and will to do these things, but it always come back full-circle to that fear. This I need to conquer. Once done my life will be complete.
if i could change only one thing i’d change my job. i have gained so much by changing my eating and exercising. i feel fantastic and my dream is to share what i have learned along the way and help others transform their lives.
why haven’t i changed? because i have a great income where i am now and i have responsibilities that need that money so i can’t up and leave even though it is slowly killing my soul.
it makes me sad…i work to give my family a better life but in the end i’m stressed and out of the house 12 hours per day…i can’t do this forever.
To change requires thought and action. Removing the ego removes the fear lets the spirit fly and anything is possible. Loose the attachment to what may be and what if and we can fly, change becomes possible. Therefore I would connect the thought with the action and practice hard getting rid of the fear attached by just doing it, going out there are beginning something and keeping on doing it and practicing until changes comes about. Thinking along will not motivate change, we need to be in it doing it 100% then we believe we can and change has occured…keep on truckin
Hello,
first of all I believe it would be very useful to change my mindset. I am a bit pessimistic. I keep procrastinating, loosing my motivation, or simply not doing achieving thing time and time again because my negative attitude.
Oh and yes perhaps this one also stems from my pessimism but I tend to forget about important things. Goal setting would perhaps help.
I would change the dependence I have on the “comfort” foods and rely on the true beneficial natural foods. I would also change from laying around and relaxing in spare time to getting up and doing something constructive. Going to the gym a few times a week is only a start. Keeping active the rest of the time accelerates the benefits.
If I could change anything in my life it would be my mind and how I percieve the world and myself in it.
If there is one thing I would change, is that I would want to become more loving and giving, and also change the perception of others and myself by encouraging people to be tolerant of others, no matter what the colour of their skin is. I would want to share the unconditional love that’s within me and also go and work out much more than I do in the mornings.
Well I have taken the first step to change my life, Im traveling alone for the first time ever. I decided to travel in Asia right for four months. Im on my 3rd week, at the moment in Hue in Vietnam. Got laid off from work for the 2nd time of my life, but this time I decided this wouldn’t bring me down like last time it happened. So I decided to go travel now that time was available.
I have read Scotts emails and others (Vince Delmonte, Mike Geary, Jon Benson) on the same subject for the last year, and over time their messages have reached me that its up to me to make some changes. As most mention in their answers that its up to ourselves to make changes to we do not like.
I know exactly what I need to do to loose weight, at the moment my weight is 340 lbs, but I just don’t have it in me to loose it. I have read tons of books, and the emails from the guys above, all good advice but I cannot make myself to go all the way. For me it has always been up and downs like all the rest of you guys and gals. I have have started programs, but ended them after 6-8 weeks, because I dont “feel” like it.
Now after three weeks on my own, after alot of soul-searching, one huge stone dropped from my chest. Sat drinking a beer looking at a pool-game at DMZ-bar here in Hue, and suddenly it just poped into my mind.. I love my mom and dad. I come from a very stable family, mom and dad are still married now for 43 years and I got two sisters I love dearly. The thing is that I have never ever said it to either of them I love them. We have never been much about emotions in our family, because everyone of us know what the others feel. But, as en emotional dummy I am, I guess I have always known I need to say it to them but never come around to it. So that’s what I wanna change in my life as soon as I come home and can do it right.
Fear is the mind-killer, as the said in the movie “Dune”, but I want to change for the better and don’t fear change. If I can continue to soul-search during my travels, who knows what I wanna change.
Well…. too loose weight of course is one… =)

If I could change anything in my life right now, it would be helping others “Discover & Develop a Higher Fitness Purpose” via my passion of speaking/teaching. I also dream/want/will create an online super-portal of support, encouragement and resource for amputees and their families and caregivers – based on my son’s “accident” (medical mistake) that occurred when he was 4 (2 years ago)… I KNOW for a fact that we (my son and I) were “chosen” for this very experience, and that there is MUCH to be done for MANY who have/will experience similar struggles. As a consummate “idea guy”, my continual struggle lies with the implementation part – knowing what/where to begin, etc. However, I truly believe with all my heart/soul that once it’s been “birthed”, countless numbers can/will be positively impacted – forever!
I would change my lack of “get up and go…” Whhen I was in my 20’s I worked out as a bobybuilder for 2 years. I am now 50 and haven’t picked up a weight in a few years. I worked out 6 days a week for 2 hours each. I was in 2 bobybuilder contest, so I know what it takes to be there again but, I don’t have the get up and go to do it again even for smaller workouts. That is what I WILL CHANGE….
