After a lifetime of worry and fretting over just about anything and everything, it has finally occured to me that many of us waste far too much time with issues or concerns that amount to meaningless junk.

A healtier mindset now allows me to simply question the validity, or relavence of any negative thinking that may creep up on me. How important will this issue be in a week, a day, or even five minutes from now? The results of this simple new mindset are terrific and truly life enhancing .

All the best,

But there will be times when our value system would become different, so when we’ve acquired what we wanted, our minds may have wanted something else already. I nonetheless think that the lessons we got from this type of experience are valuable and can help us develop our own personality.

Creating change is much easier than most of us think. The problem is we’re fed so much “Oh don’t do this”, “It will never work” by people (friends and family) who have never do it. I know – enter stage right my family!

Yes, they only want to protect you. The irony is your body and unconscious mind does that for you anyway. What they really mean is I wouldn’t do that or I don’t want to do that or it will not work for me, so you had better not try it either.

There are so many techniques to help you get over your own self doubt, limiting decisions, negative beliefs and emotions etc. Yet the faster I’ve found and APPLIED so far without a doubt so far has to be EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).

EFT is so quick, easy, pain free, no time off work, you can do it on yourself. It even helps me write articles and blog posts and complete a recent article challenge. You know when you have article writing paralysis.

Happy Travels

We all have an absurd amount of fears, but if you are able to dominate those fears then change becomes a whole lot easier. Being able to make smaller changes along the way allows for those bigger changes to take place as well.

Time to read part 2!

The beautiful thing about change is that you “always” grow and improve from it. Of all the experiences I’ve had in my life I would not change any of it as you are who you are because of it.

Without change you become a one-sided person. We need experiences/change to shape who we are.

Taking personal responsibility for the changes you want to make in your own life is a great start. Often individual beleive that it is up to others to change and they spend their time complaining about it. I spend a lot of my time helping people to accept that if they want to create chage in their lives it is soley up to them. What stops people from change and doing and being exactly who they want to be is often the fear of change itself. Its take determination and committment to change.
Well done

http://www.melclifford.com I have just started bloggong with you help and advise. Thanks again.

Just to answer the title personally, yes it is possible.
I think change in inevitable and we all have to get used to it. It’s not easy but when you get to the bottom and the main purpose of the change, it’ll be less hard.

This is one of my favorite topic to discuss and I’m honestly enjoying your thoughts about it.

Cheers,

I kinda like your word here Yaro..

I started a blog a couple of year ago about my work and had lots of hits for little effort (it was very technical and not much info was available for free on the net), but since it is not moving me it is now dying from lack of interest and investment.

Having family responsibilities is what generally what stops us from changing, but I feel strongly the urge to satisfy the corner of myself who once was a little boy who wanted to help. I have now started a new blog about people who are working to make a better world.

I don’t know where this is going to lead me, I don’t know if I can monetise it, but I know I have a lot more interest in that than in my sit-in-the-office-with-a-tie current job.

I like the sounds of your mother – I too prefer the more hermit like existence over socializing, and yet… You get me around folks and push-come-to-shove, I am plenty opinionated! Now… if only I were to educate my opinions:-)

Some years back, I had a dream. Scared the be-jeebers out of me. Course, I had it coming since the night before, near despair, I asked for clarity. Gloooory be!

Everybody dreams, nobody remembers ALL of their dreams, some remember many and some (me) rarely remember any!

You said – “You want to be the driver in your life, even if you can never be sure where the road is taking you or what you will pass through on the way.”

Ha! To this day, nearly 4 years later, I still remember that dream quite vividly and I am still kicking and screaming and dragging my heels or often, I am being dragged. I am most definitely not the driver – not yet anyway.

Looking forward to reading the other articles on this topic.

You picked a doozy!

Change is living. If we go through life always doing and being the same, there is no growth to our lives. New experience provide change, new people in our lives provide change. We learn from each other.

Living in our comfort zone stops growth. You are one of the lucky people in the fact that you are not scared to get out of your comfort zone and that is wonderful.

You are very good at teaching people how to blog and have great authority. It is no wonder that now you are getting into the field of self imporvment. There is a great need for it and everyones input helps another person.

What I have found over the past few months is a complete paralysis to the action needed for real change, happiness, and success in my personal life. I want it. That isn’t the trouble. The trouble seems to be with my mind. It is resistant. It is resistant to the possibility of success and failure. I need to engage the clutch and get out of nuetral and begin driving my own change. Ain’t no one gonna do it for me.

Thank you. On to article two.
