We live in exciting times! Barak Obama’s victory signals that we’re entering a period of change. Actually, people are hungry for change. Don’t all those people standing in line to vote say something? They sure do!

Much of the change that’s going to take place in the coming months won’t be particularly pleasant, but let’s hope that we have elected a president who forgets about his re-election campaign and has the strength of character and resolve to do whatever needs to be done, regardless of the political consequences. If it happens it will be a political first!

There is often a lot of concern expressed about change. It sometimes has an ominous ring to it. Actually there is nothing to be afraid of. Without change there is no progress. Change is a necessity.

Actually, change is something to look forward to. Change is just another word for learning.

A world without change is a world where there is no progress. All of us have been stuck in a time-warp, happy to protect the status quo. It’s done us a whole lot of no good too!

What is for sure is that Barak Obama can’t be the only catalyst for change. He needs you to change too.

If we’re looking for inspiration we need look no further than his presidential campaign. If we can show the same determination, self-discipline and commitment in our lives we can make a huge difference to the nation’s future. Not grand words, but just good common sense.

We could all take one aspect of our lives and see if we couldn’t try and do things better. Let’s take health – or to be more specific our weight. If you need to lose weight permanently you need to change. Personal change is the only real way to lose weight permanently. You need to adopt new behaviors, and you do this by learning new habits – slim habits. The new president elect has given us an example and a challenge. It’s a pretty good start, but can we live up to his – and our – expectations?
