This quote comes from former World Cup and Olympic skier, Lindsey Vonn. You can imagine that her life, and any athlete’s life, changes very quickly the moment they go pro after many years of hard work. The same can be said for the actor who gets their first big break and the 9-5 worker who finally lands a job in the field of their dreams. It can be said for the couple beginninng their life together and the family welcoming a newborn. And let’s not forget the lottery winner who wins against all odds. It’s easy to imagine that life changes very quickly in a very positive way in these scenarios. However, it’s not so easy to imagine that the same can happen with changes that are less drastic and less monumental.
You don’t necessarily have to wait for those big moments for you life to change. As this quote by Lindsey Vonn suggests, life can change very quickly in a very positive way “if you let it.”
For instance, if you let it, a simple change of heart and mind can also cause your life to change quickly in a positive way. From gaining insights into topics that affect your health and wellbeing and acting on them to growing in your faith journey. From using your time differently to committing to a more positive mindset. These changes aren’t so obvious or visible, yet they have just as much a capacity to have a positive impact on your life as those big moments. One can even argue they have a more positive impact because they’re enduring changes that are independent of external factors. Meanwhile, they can cause your life to change quickly in a positive way anytime–even today–if you let it.
