They Don’t Shy Away From Change
‘It’s not that some people have will power and some don’t…it’s that some people are ready to change and others are not’.(James Gordon)
‘It was clear that he was trying to change too much too fast, which was a recipe for failure. It was important to find something to replace that habit with – and he decided he would try snacking on carrots instead’.
To Change Or Not To Change
Many people shy away from changes that can drastically improve their lives. See if any of the following apply to you:
- Justifying bad habits by convincing yourself that they’re not that bad.
- You experience anxiety about a change of routine.
- Even in a difficult situation, you worry that change will make things worse.
- You struggle to stick with change.
- You struggle to adapt to change in others.
- Procrastination.
- Worry that change won’t last.
- Stepping outside comfort zone is just too scary.
- Too hard to make positive change
- Make excuses to not change
- Difficult recalling the last time you did change
- Don’t want to commit to change.
Choosing to do something different requires you to adapt your thinking and your behavior, which will likely bring up some uncomfortable emotions. But that doesn’t mean you should shy away. we shy away because it is uncomfortable to change. Putting in action steps towards creating change can help and maintaining that change to make it more concrete.
Why Do We Avoid Change
- Fear of discomfort. Draw out the pros and cons of the change. Get really deep. Facing this reality can give you the motivation you need to change. The cons it could have for the rest of your life if you don’t change, for example.
- Fear of change in identity: doing something different means giving something up. Grief of a change of what we used to do and who we used to be. Avoiding this grief can convince us not to change.
Problem With Shying Away From Change
- Stuck in a rut. Not changing makes your life boring and monotonous.
- You won’t learn anything new. You won’t be expanding and learning more about life and risk life leaving you behind.
- You won’t solve some problems. Change can solve these problems.
- People will outgrow you.
- You wont develop new, healthier habits.
- The longer you wait, the harder it gets. Like quitting smoking, is it easier after 1 cigarette or 20 years of it? The perfect time to change may never arise.
If you start by changing your life, you can being to make a difference in the lives of other people. Mother Teresa said, ‘I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples’.
Behave Like The Person You Want To Be
If you want to be more outgoing, behave in a more friendly manner. If you want to be a successful salesperson, study how successful salespeople behave and do what they do.
You don’t necessarily have to wait until you feel like it or until the right time comes; start changing your behaviour now.
Sometime change results in a complete transformation that could alter the entire course of your life. So often, when people change one area of their life, such as pay off debt, then they are changing multiple areas of life, like losing weight. Positive change increase motivation and more motivation leads to increased change.
Helpful:
- Review the pros and cons of making a change and the pros and cons of staying the same.
- Committing to behaving like the person you want to become.
Not Helpful:
- Ignoring and/or avoiding change.
- Making excuses for why you can’t do anything different.
- Only focusing on the negative aspect of change.
- Waiting until you feel like creating change.
Some people do not like change, they work out a way and a lifestyle that gives them everything they expect from life and it is good for them. However, nothing lasts forever and the whole world is changing. I miss the childhood world myself and I am sad that it has changed so much and I will not be able to show off some of the things to posterity. However, you have to accept it and accept changes in your life. They do not have to be many and very large, however, it is worth to change some small matters from time to time. At the beginning, start by changing the way you get to work and in time you will see that through the changes in your life new opportunities appear that will make you even happier. Only an idiot does the same and expects different results.
It's innate as humans to be comfortable in life, from a biological standpoint as to survive. Yet in this time and age we don't have the stresses of needing to hunt and kill animals for example yet we are affected by this in today's life. Yes, it's easy to see the past as negative or even positive but as you say it's important to accept it and move on. Yes, we need to change and do different things as life moves so quickly and doesn't wait for anyone!

Thank you for appreciating my speech, I will follow your profile and comment if I have something wise to say :) I also invite myself, if you find a moment you can see my passion, this is photography. I greet everything good
You are welcome. I look forward to your content and also what you have to say on my content!
All that does not suit in life, it is necessary to change, if you do not change, then everything suits. It's never too late to change your life ... You just need to want it to change. The hardest thing to want to change. Most often, we get tired, give up and just lose the desire to change something and slowly go with the flow of life
I think it's so challenging to change because biologically we don't want to change for survival reasons. Overcoming the biological and moving into a more spiritual / conscious realm is where I think the real fruits of life are.

Its hard to change especially if vices are rooted already for decades.
Some would just accept things they can't really change and move on to the things they can change.
Its like Steve Jobs who uses his brilliancy on technology innovation fully and ignoring his health issues which he can't really solve it.
He died at 56.
What matters most was the change that lead to progress regardless of dying early.

Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable.:) thanks for sharing those thoughts of the day. you have always reminded us about things that we have forgot to do in our lives.
That's it, the inventive for improvement. It's the trap of the comfort zone I think. Untill we really grasp that then we can make quantum changes in life! Thank YOU for the kind words and continuous engagement with the content!!

We can all change. But for that change to be possible, we have to change the way we see things and, in addition, we must not lose the desire to improve.

@luppers, One thing Human Beings forget in times and that is, Only change is constant. Everything changes over the period of time and we have to adapt the change because change is Evolution and it helps to transform us and sometimes we can analyse that, when we adapt changes and become flexible then whatever fears we have they become lessen and we start holding more control over our circumstances. Stay blessed.

Yes that is true. Sometimes when things are difficult we can't recognise that it will change, as you say. Fantastic thoughts as always!
