For those interested in seeing Europe without the constant, hectic bustle of tourism, relaxing cruises on the Rhine River have proven to be a hit. In addition to a never-ending opportunity to learn to speak German, here is a list of several fun activities to partake in during a Rhine River cruise: Allstate: This town includes a medieval castle, a parish church dating to 1794, a historical museum, and numerous delicious restaurants. Glattfelden: Situated on the River Glatt just above its junction with the Rhine, this town is the hometown of Swiss writer Gottfried Keller and is frequently referred to in his novel “Der grüne Heinrich.” Over an old stone bridge is the nearby old town of Eglisau. Rheinfelden: A little town of 7,000 inhabitants situated on the left bank of the river, Rheinfelden is home to a popular salt-water spa, ancient walls and towers, the Fricktaler Museum, and St. Martin’s Church, which dates back to the 15th century.

The greatest secret of change is to bring yourself into the present moment and to immediately take action.
But how can you do this?
I am not talking about the type of change that lasts for just a few months and then we go back to the same stuff we always used to do. No, I am talking about that everlasting change that permits us to move onward with our lives and leave our old ways behind. This is the true change that will last forever. The secret is to commit everything you have in your life to building what you can in the present moment.
The past will hold you down and the future will show you the greatest mirage of a place "where it all turns out." Both of these places are incredibly dangerous because they keep us from being in action in the present moment. Even though we can go there in our heads, we have to avoid living in these places at all costs.
Change isn't easy. In fact, change is incredibly difficult. To prove my point, did you know that 92% of people who make New Years Resolutions fail in accomplishing them? That number is astronomical. That number is so big that it makes you really want to ask the question "What in the world is broken with that type of thinking?"
So what can you do to make sure that you're successful?
The plan is simple. Ready? Focus on one thing every single day that will improve your life in some way and do that for the rest of your life. Give up trying to change everything all at once - that way of thinking is broken. Think about your best life being created in the same way you would walk up a big mountain. Day after day take step after step. I know this idea isn't incredibly sexy, but it's what works.
Start a successful journey of change today.
Don't wait.
