Making Permanent Changes
Filed Under Making Changes | Leave a Comment
Change is difficult but often essential to survival. – Les Brown
Sometimes we must make permanent changes in the way we deal with and view certain parts of our lives such as dealing with relationships, weight management, money management and so on. This short blog post is about the main component essential to these changes, that being responsibility.
Making permanent changes in your life requires responsibility. Otherwise that change will be temporary.
That responsibility according to personal development guru Anthony Robbins is done only by accepting three core beliefs:
1). Believing we must change is not enough, it must change.
2). You must be responsible in other words say I must change it, and
3). I created what I’m experiencing, therefore I can change it.
Change your thoughts and you change your world. – Norman Vincent Peale

Pain can be your friend if you use it effectively.

Are you getting what you want?
Anthony Robbins in his book Giant Steps – Small Changes to Make a Big Difference talks about the very real fact that in order for you to get what you want that you must discover what’s been preventing you from taking action. Think of something that you’ve avoided doing until the very last minute.
The example that Anthony gives is of those who put off doing their taxes until the very last minute. But what happens on April 14th? Procrastination disappears and we quickly change what we associate in our minds as bringing us pain or pleasure. Not taking action suddenly becomes more painful than simply doing your taxes.
You may ask how you can use this insight to make changes and to help you get what you want in life. It is a matter of changing the question that you ask to “If I don’t take action now, what will this ultimately cost me?”
Pain can be your friend if you use it effectively.
