Easy Change, Hard Change

Hard change – like losing weight, getting in shape, doing better at work, making a career change, demanding a higher salary, finding a new job, whatever – is hard … because there’s usually a bunch of ‘stuff’ clogging the pipes.

Fears. Wrong beliefs (like “I can’t, it’s too difficult” or “I can’t do that, I’ve always done this.”) Negative influences (perhaps people, associates who are entrenched in “old” wrong, outdated beliefs about how the world works.)

So change is hard because: we don’t believe we can do it. We think: “It shouldn’t be easy.” “It’s probably not possible.” “This isn’t going to work.” “I’ll give it a try, but I think I’m gonna fail.” “I won’t even try. I don’t want to be disappointed.”

We fight ourselves. On the one hand wanting a change. On the other, fighting against it. We go nowhere.

And then there’s “Easy Change.” The clue to it is in this quote:

“Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.” -Maxwell Maltz, Author

So … here’s the formula: healthy self image >>> constructive, positive habits >>> successful, easy change.

[For ">>>" above, read "leads to."]

This is one of the purposes of the new Career&Success Community. To discuss these things. And I’m going to be posting some really outstanding info on the “Resources” forum and starting a special group to discuss “How to Build Your Self-Image so That Change, Cash, Opportunities and Friends Come Easy.”
