Choose Your Dreams: Stay Where You Are or Change Your Life

Do you want to change your life? I want to change my life. Do you? What do you want to change? Do you know what you want? What do you have to do to change your life? Have you been trying and failing? So, what do you need to change your life?

You, of course, must desire a change. Next, you must believe that it is possible. What next? You need a new plan to move forward. Because the path you have been on has yet to get you where you want to be.

Did you try watching motivational speakers? Did that get you pumped up and excited, only to have nothing happen? Me too. They sound so good. The problem is that you were excited and motivated but did not get a plan to change.

You have what you need to succeed and achieve your dreams; it is in you. You need help to get there. How?

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.”

— Og Mandino, The Greatest Salesman in the World

Enter the Master Key Experience (MKE). What is that? It is a six-month course that helps you to fulfill your dreams. The course is based on The Master Key System by Charles F Haanel.

It Takes Work

It is not a passive class. You have work to do because you are changing your life and learning how to change the patterns that have you leading a life that is not as fulfilling as you want.

“When you are at one with the world, you often find that the thing you seek is seeking you.”

— Charles Haanel, The Master Key System

So, what do you have to do? There are weekly webinars. There are several readings every day. Some readings are done more than once daily, and some are out loud.

There are meditations. Promises you make to yourself that you must keep. There are affirmations and sometimes some challenges. This takes some time every day, but it is manageable.

It takes effort to change how you think and to change your self-sabotaging habits.

“The only way to get love is by giving it, that the more you give the more you will get, and the only way in which you can give it, is to fill yourself with it, until you become a magnet.”

— Charles F. Haanel, The Master Key System

How to Change Your Life

There is one big thing you must do, and that is write your Definite Major Purpose (DMP).

This is what you want your life to look like. There is a specific way this needs to be written, and you have guides to help you write it correctly. It takes a while to get it right. You are on the path to your dreams when you get it right.

Is all this work worth the effort?

Well, you spent years getting to where you don’t want to be. Is six months of effort worth getting your life to have the fulfillment you crave?

Or are you willing to keep living the life you have because it is too hard to change? The choice is yours. I choose my dreams.

  • I have chosen to change my life on several occasions, continuing to move forward to the person I’m meant to be. And thanks for sharing this important tool, John. It’s how I succeeded at it too!

  • I completely relate to this, Phil. I’ve experienced the same cycle of wanting change, trying different things, and feeling stuck without a clear plan. The Master Key Experience has given me the tools and structure I needed to break through those old patterns. It really does take work, but the effort is so worth it when you start seeing the changes in yourself and your life! I’m choosing my dreams too. 🙂

  • Excellent points John regarding how we ultimately choose the direction to take in life, staying on the well-traveled road or the new, unexplored path towards our dreams.

  • So true ! Change needs work and we have to do it by ourself, but we cannot do it alone, that’s why the Master Key Experience is so helpful! Thanks John for this wise reminder!
