With every direction change there is a certain amount of momentum stored. You cannot wake up one morning and decide to change yourself in the flutter of a hummingbirds wing.

You have to work with the materials you are given.

You cannot change your physical form instantly. You cannot change your financial status overnight. You cannot change your location and skillset through wishful thinking. You cannot change the preconceptions and attitudes of those around you.

What you can change is your character. Your mindset, approach and attitude.

And with those changes come all the others, through the application of perseverance, practice and knowledge.
