James (Arthur) Baldwin
(1924-1987)
"People can cry much easier than they can change." ---James Baldwin
Chris' Commentary:
This is why they do: it is easier to cry, to lament, to wish things were better, than to change. If change were the easiest thing to do, then most people would change. Instead, most people take the easy road and lament along the way, somehow thinking that since they wish things were better, that, in and of itself, must be noble. It isn't! Taking the difficult road of change in the face of easier roads is noble! Average people cry about their situations, while successful people do something about their situations.
Action Point: What is the one thing you have the tendency to cry about or lament? Take a step today to change it! For example, if it is your weight, then go exercise and don't have seconds! Change, day by day, and your life will become what you want it to be!
