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.

Take control of your financial l future...

Today we will learn about Finance  and the keys to building lasting wealth.  Wealth  today, has become a very critical aspect of our lives.Most of the tensions in life, relationship problems and self-esteem problems is because of  lack of wealth.  People don't see  who or what you are, they see  WHAT YOU HAVE.  We are often judged by our economic status.    We fail to remember that  "Money was made for Man, and not Man for Money".   True, wealth is important, but so also are human values. You may have all the wealth in the world but you may be too old to enjoy it, or you may have a  major illness which does not allow you to enjoy your wealth.
