I think one of the greatest frustrations we can have is: "Why Are Things Not Changing?" which may have, inherent in the question, the solution to our problem.  The real question to ask is: "What Am I Focusing On?  Where I AM or Where I Want to Go?  I am a big proponent of, what we give attention to, we give life to.  Often what keeps us stuck is our fixation on the past.  However, if we can detach from the past and step into a future that we can see in our mind and feel in our heart, even before it materializes in the seen, we will find the source of our greatest joy.

And the quickest way to get there is to be clear about what that future looks like, what you look like in it, and begin to pattern your life (as much as you are able) after that version of yourself.  This will greatly collapse time and you will begin to watch it formalize around you.
