Be Selfish

I guess all answers point to the same solution. Only you can change you and if you choose not to then you will continue along in the world the same as today. If you are happy with today and all the days to follow then there is no need to change but if you are not satisfied with your current situation then common sense would of course dictate a reason for change. I think history has proven that people can not make real change unless they themselves are convinced it's for the better.

 

Everyone has convinced themselves to change temporarily to get what they want but most change back to the original life after they have achieved their short term goal. I have heard it said that the longest the average person can put on a rouge is about four to six months meaning that your true colors start to come out the longer you go. This doesn't make you a monster, it just makes you human. You want something so you go after it anyway you can but once you achieve your goal you go back to your real ways.

 

I only bring this up because it's proof to yourself that you can change if you want. You can help yourself. It only takes about thirty days to form a habit so when you go back to your old ways after this it's because you want too. Well this works both ways. If you want something bad enough then nothing can stop you from changing. You have to do this for you and only you. As I have always said any change can only come from the inside out and not the outside in. This is one time that you must convince yourself to do it for you. The will to change is your first step. Without this you might as well save your energy until you're serious.

 

Everybody is different in the way that life time habits are changed, it is essential but not easy. Maybe considering what benefits you will receive in the over all picture will push you in the right direction. It sounds selfish but any improvement you make will benefit anyone that comes into contact with you and make you a happier person.
