Make a Change

Can we really change our habits?

A close friend of mine had major heart surgery a few
years ago.  He swore up and down that he would quit smoking,
eat healthier, and start exercising.  He was very highly motivated
to change.  Mostly because the doctors told him that
he would be back in surgery if he did not change his lifestyle.

In 3 years he is back smoking well over
2 packs-a-day, still eats the fast-foods (and not the salads),
and of course never gets any exercise.
In effect, this man's life is threatened and he is
unwilling to help himself.  He really does not believe that
he will end up in the hospital (or dead) again.  He feels too good.

We may want to lose weight, make extra money, or stop
procrastinating. Whatever it is that we want to do. we
need to step up and actually do it.  Getting ourselves
motivated to improve our lives can be elusive.  To some
it seems to come naturally.  Others never seem to get it.

Making change happen in our lives needs several elements.

1.  We need identify what we can change.

2.  We need to want to change it.

3.  We must take the steps to begin changing.

Unless we have at least these three elements, we usually
take no action to do anything but live our same existence.
