Have you ever come to a crossroad where if you continue on what you’re doing, things are just going to get worse? But if you make that one uncomfortable right turn, things will shift and life will change for the better. How many times have you hit that divided pathway in your life? And deep down you know changing would required you to move heaven and earth as you know it to something completely different and even unknown.
Whether it’s our diet, relationships, adopting a new paradigm, or a new habit that better served us in the long run; I’ve learned most of us don’t just change for the heck of changing. We change when pain or great suffering is knocking on our door. That’s the majority of us human. Some of us have to hit rock bottom to recognize we can’t sink any deeper into our own demise. The sharp bitter stings of pain and suffering now forced us to take drastic action and CHANGE.
It’s when we are lost deep down in this abyss that there’s no other way out but to crawl right back up this dark crevasse. We are FORCE against our will to challenge and question our long kept paradigms. The hope is we eventually realize, “Hey, this way of thinking and doing thing is getting me nowhere.” And we begin to find new habits and paradigms that better serve us in our current life situation.
Changes are hard, I know. I don’t think anyone actually expect you to make the drastic transformation successfully overnight. Even the individuals that succeeded in such transitions, did so because they changed by slowly replacing one old habit for a more healthy beneficial habit. They did it one by one over a period of time.
It has been reiterated by many that it takes 21 days to adopt a new habit –for it to really sink in and be part of you.
So how do we know which habits to take in? And what changes we need? That is entirely up to each individual. For our needs and desire are personal to each of us and only we can really know what we want. But one thing, I am sure of is that we basically see what others are doing that is in agreement with us, and if we like this new mindset, ideas, habits, or type of action and it’s beneficial to our well being–we then adopt them into our own life.
The questions you have to ask yourself are:
- What do I really WANT?
- Am I willing to change?
- Am I serious about it?
- Am I willing to do what it takes?
Then give it a 100%. Things can really start to happen. And if you find yourself falling off the bandwagon, just hop back on. As long as you are moving forward, you are making progress.
, I volunteered to be in front. Reason one being… no big heads or anyone is blocking my view up here. Just kidding! Any how, it was a bit frightening as I step outside onto the thin metal pathway. I can feel the height and the breeze blowing lightly against my body. (Thank goodness it is not a windy day.)
I was listening to an intriguing audio program by Mark Cunningham (aka Major Mark); one of the best hypnotist. It’s titled, “Build a Better Girlfriend.” My first reaction was, what’s this? What kind of stuff are men –more precisely ‘my man’ going to use on me.
