How to change Anything in your Life



To paraphrase the philosopher Nietzche, he who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how. I've found that 20 percent of any change is knowing how; but 80 percent is knowing why. If we gather a set of strong enough reasons to change, we can change in a minute something we've failed to change for years.

The greatest leverage you can create for yourself is the pain that comes from inside, not outside. Knowing that you have failed to live up to your own standards for your life is the ultimate pain. If we fail to act in accordance with our own view of ourselves, if our behaviours are inconsistent with our standards - with the identity we hold for ourselves - then the chasm between our actions and who we are drives us to make a change.

The reason so many of seem to be walking contradictions is simply that we never recognize inconsistencies for what they are. If you want to help somebody, you won't access this kind of leverage by making them wrong or pointing out that they're inconsistent, but rather by asking them questions that cause them to realize for themselves their inconsistencies.

Internal pressure is a valuable tool to use on yourself. Complacency breeds stagnation; unless you're extremely dissatisfied with your current pattern of behaviour, you won't be motivated to make the changes that are necessary. 

So why would someone not change when they feel and know that they should?They associate more pain to making the change than to not changing.

Endurance and stamina are two sides of the same coin and cannot go without each other. Now, you often wonder how to increase stamina by natural means?

There are natural means which are a combination of diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications that can increase your stamina the natural way. Here we are listing the top 20 wa...

Too Much Of Anything in Life is Not Good.... For You...

  Excess of anything is bad. Too much love is not good, too much money is not good, too much care is not useful, and too much confidence is also not productive. Most people will agree that anything in excess is harmful in its own way. Water is required for a ship to sail and the ship cannot sail without water, but excess water when it fills the ship may sink it. The water has to remain below the ship, should not come over it.  Similarly, if one is in love, it should be in moderation, otherwise, love becomes poison, life-threatening. Take the love story of Romeo Juliet, Heer Ranjha, Laila Majnu, or from any culture, it is excessive love that has killed many lovers. A mother who cares too much for her child spoils her. Those kids who are pampered by parents beyond need turn out to be weaker and less sociable than others who were given the opportunity to grow independently. While a child will need attention and care, too much of them is a spoiler. Better to understand that every ...
