CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS CHANGE YOUR LIFE

           The hardest thing to change is a mindset.  Our mind gets comfortable with what we set up as norms.  Even when we know something is better for us, our brain tells us to stay with the norm, with what we have become accustomed to and comfortable with.  Unless there is an external occurrence to promote change giving someone a powerful epiphany, they will more than likely stay with the same train of thought they have always maintained.   

Sir Isaac Newton named this phenomenon Inertia which is a resistance to change.  His first law of motion states:   An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

You direct your thoughts and they will go in the same direction unless you decide to take another direction.  Sometimes this will take a small amount of effort on your part, and sometimes it will take a large amount of effort.  However, in every situation a decision and effort must be made in order to make a change.

PSYCHOLOGICAL INERTIA: “The psychological meaning of the word "inertia" implies an indisposition to change – a certain "stuckness" due to human programming. It represents the inevitability of behaving in a certain way – the way that has been indelibly inscribed somewhere in the brain. It also represents the impossibility – as long as a person is guided by his habits – of ever behaving in a better way.” ~Dr. James Kowalick

In order to change your life you are going to have to accept and embrace change.  Understand that just because something is comfortable, doesn’t mean it’s what’s best for you. 

The norms you have become accustomed to and established over time is probably what the people around you have always done, others techniques, and programming from various images.  If you want something different you are going to have to do something different. 

Before you can do something different, you have to see something different.  Emerge yourself into a different environment.  An environment that can help shape you into the person you want to become.  Spend time with people who are achieving the things you want to achieve.  Be opened minded and don’t let fear stop you from reaching your greatest heights and learning your greatest depths. 

Open your mind to change and embrace it.  Your journey is so special, so beautiful, so intriguing, and no one can take it but you.
