Welcome to Real Talk with Reginald D. I'm your host, Reginald D. On today's episode, I'm going to talk about knowing when to change in your life. Let's jump right in. You know, I've seen a lot of people live in misery. I've seen a lot of people that don't live up to their potential. I've seen a bunch of people that are frustrated with their life, and it's all because they didn't know when to change. Their life has shifted, but they didn't shift. When you don't change in life, that's how you get stuck. People are so afraid of change that they are willing to stay miserable. People will not change in their life because they are afraid that change will make them miserable. Check this out. You are miserable anyway. You might as well change. In order to move forward, you got to move the things that's standing in your way to the side. You do that by not making it a priority over what you want. Let me ask you a question. When are you going to make what you want in life a priority? When are you going to make it your main focus? Matter of fact, when are you going to make you a priority? When you do that, that's when you're going to see a change in your life. You will see a difference all the way down to the people you attract. I tell people that if you keep attracting the same kind of people, then there's something you may need to change about you. See, that's how people get stuck in bad relationships over and over because they're not willing to change what they think about themselves. And they are not willing to change their expectations. Let me ask you a question. When are you going to change your expectations for yourself? When are you going to change your expectations for your life? The greater expectations you have, the greater your life will be. I need you to quit expecting mediocrity because that's not who you are. You should expect greatness. That's who you are. It's time for you to change in your life. What are you waiting for? Nothing is going to change until you change. That's it. I need you to know that true change takes place in your imagination. Ask yourself this question. What do I imagine about my life? What do I want my life to be? See, if you can imagine what you could be, it has the power to change you into what you will be. You have to understand that the only thing that change does is show you more of yourself. Change shows you that you are capable of handling different things. That's why all the things you have been through, you were able to overcome it. It's because you adapted to the situation. You changed when you needed to. Knowing when to change will help you grow and move forward in life. See, when you don't change in life, that's how you get stuck in your past. If your past comes calling, don't answer it. The reason you don't answer your past is because it has nothing new to say to you. It's going to be the same old, same old. Check this out. You can't move on with the next chapter in your life if you keep rereading the last one. Knowing when to change in your life is so important. You know, I've heard people say that their mother taught them how to love. I've heard people say that their father taught them how to love. But here's the thing, they didn't teach them how to stop loving. They didn't teach them how to stop loving the things that didn't love them back. You got to know when to change in life. If you don't know when to change, you will end up doing things unnecessarily. People will tell you this about me. Do not have me doing things unnecessary. That irritates me because it's a waste of my time and the other people that is connected to it. Because in the end, nobody won or accomplished anything simply because we were doing something that was unnecessary. I need you to work on changing this about you. Do not make a promise to change yourself. Make a promise to be yourself. When you change that about you, you will feel comfortable to flow in your power, your gifts, and your purpose. When you change your life, let your change surround your dreams. Then watch your dreams come true. It's critical to know when to change in life because once you do that, then it will be one of the best moments in your life because you got the strength to let go of what you can't change. You just got to change your mindset. I had relationships where people wanted to please me or tease me. Once I changed my mindset, it showed me what I needed. I didn't need people to please me, and I definitely didn't need people to tease me. I don't have time for that. I needed people to believe in me, and that's who I started surrounding myself with. So you've got to understand that people that only want to please you will allow you to do anything, even if it's wrong. That's a recipe for failure. You need people in your life that will check you. Also, if you have people in your life that's just teasing you, they're going to end up using you. When you have people that believe in you, they will support you, they will be there for you through the ups and downs, and they will be truthful to you even when the truth hurts. So you got to understand, some people are one-track minded. Now, that doesn't mean that they have a one-track mind, because the mind is capable of thinking all kind of ways. But one-track minded people thinks only one way. They have a rehearsed mind. If it sounds good, they will remember it and keep saying it even though it's not their reality. I often hear people say that God opened up doors for you, which is true, and that's all they think. But in all reality, God would close doors in your face. And the reason he does that is because he has a better door and a better opportunity for you that's greater than you can imagine. That's why the opportunity you wanted didn't happen. God closed the door on it because he has something bigger for you. You got to realize that when God opens up a door, it's your door. He opened it just for you. God said he will open up doors that no man can close. What's for you will be for you. You may ask, when does a person know when to change in their life? It is a feeling that's deep within you. It's that voice that wishes to you and tell you there must be more to life. You might be feeling unfulfilled, uninspired, or restless. This is your soul's way of telling you that there is more to explore, more to achieve, and more to become. Don't ignore it. Listen to that whisper. It's the first step in embracing change in your life. Take a moment to reflect on your life. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What are your passions and dreams? Self-awareness is a compass that guides us towards a meaningful change. Understanding who you are and what you want is the foundation for transformation. I need you to understand that change is not just a natural part of life. It's the essence of growth. It's all about discovering the power within you and using it to become the best version of yourself. Embrace change in your life. Remember, you have the power to create the change you desire. Don't let life happen to you. Make life happen for you. I'm going to leave you with this. Imagine being in a place of no more insecurities. Imagine living a life with no more regret. Imagine letting go of all the pain in your life. Imagine letting go of the people who hurt you. Imagine letting go of your past and never reading that page again. Imagine you being stronger. Imagine you being free. All that comes with knowing when to change in your life. It's all about the way you think and the things you do. Thank you for tuning in Real Talk with Reginald D.
