The Need to Change
How many times we have told ourselves that we need changes in life, venture into something new, tap into various opportunities but in the end we found ourselves still remaining in the same situation as we were last year or years ago.
To change need courage because often we do not know what is there waiting for us at the other end of the road of change we choose. We become very unsure and chose to remain in our comfort zone for the rest of our lives. We never know ii if we never take the first step to change we will never know what is out there for us.
We need to remind ourselves of the pain we are enduring all this time in our so called comfort zone if we do not adapt to changes. If we are able to associate pain to our current situation we will find it is much easier to change ourselves.
But still many people failed halfway during the process and go back to their original form in their comfort zone. Often things will not be easy. To do something totally different will not be easy for many people. Our lives can said to be in auto pilot, we wake up, go to work, do the routine, have lunch, back home and go to bed. Almost all of us will have these normal routine cycles of life everyday just as in auto pilot. We can almost do it without even thinking for too long, we are even able to wake up at the same time every morning without the need of an alarm clock.
All these has been program inside our sub conscious mind and very often we reluctant to let go this easy comfort zone even though we know we are far from happy in the situation where we are now.
So why is it hard for us to take action and change. The answer is very simple. The fear of the uncertainty of the other side is far much greater than the pain in the current situation. So we will stay with the current condition as we already know what is in it and there could be no major harm that we cannot endure as we already survived it to this point.
We need to find a way to break through. We need to raise our awareness and to identify what are the actions we need in order for us to make change. We need to make ourselves strongly believe that we can achieve better things in life if we adopt changes and to know that we no longer need our old comfort zone. We need to find some kind of little proof that there is something better waiting for us, that the opportunities are far much bigger and better if we decided to explore more into it. We have the whole universe to explore and it is for use to decide just how much or how big we want from it.
Change happening everywhere and every moment now, we may realize or may not realize it. During the daily course of our life we learned how to live with those changes, like the way we work or how we come to work. There we no such thing as computers or internet 30-40 years ago and the cars we drive now much better and faster than they were 20 years back. All these are changes that blended well into our belief system and we do not resist to their existence.
Mentors are important to guide us in order for us to change and find success. Read their story and experience. They are the best road map and example for us to follow and from their experiences at least we are able to convince our self belief that we can do just the same.
Sometimes we just wonder why are human born to be different. Some are born to be great man and some are not. Maybe it is just how God created us or the way it should be that only a few are meant to be great. Those few are those who used the most of what they are gifted for. Their time, the ability and adapt to changes when they feel need to. Very often their successes are the results of the changes they bring to the world. We will be surprise of their humble beginning of their story and how they make it.
Even they need change to. Life is not about the successful of your business and the amount of money we make. Make more money does not mean making more happiness. We may end up not knowing what we really want in life if we put a lot of our focus in making money alone. Successes are measured in many ways. Of course many of us will use the amount of money we make as a barometer to measure success. Many rich people feel that they still have something to do in this world. It has no end to the list. In fact no lifetime will be enough to fulfill those lists.
Think of all the possible things that we can do if we decide to take that action, at any stage of life we decided to cross the line at the time when we need to choose which path to go. There will be no questions of what if. What if I have given it a try last time. These questions can be painful sometimes when we learned that we are no longer a part of the history. It’s the history of being part of the community of great and successful people.
