Are you beginning to lose hope that you'll ever see any real change in your life? That you'll ever know a lasting difference?
How many times have you made resolutions, plans, affirmations - thinking this time you've got it; now you have the right combination to blast you out of the rut?
It's something we all say. "This time it's going to be different..."
We'll be nicer to people. We'll exercise. We'll eat right and slim down. We won't be so lazy. We'll stop being such a wimp, and start speaking up for ourselves. We'll get down to business...and follow our passion!
So we read books, take courses, draw up to-do lists, join a gym (or a support group for exercise-phobic people!)... and maybe this works for a day, a week, even a month or two. But then, comes a challenge that's just too big for our resolve to weather.
Or we slowly begin to forget our former resolve. You know the drill...
Three months later we're back eating the same foods, wasting time, caving in, doing everything just like we did before.
What Do We Do When Even Our Best Intentions Aren't Enough?
It's even more frustrating when we've made a sincere effort and actually achieved what we set out to do. Maybe we get the degree, or the new career, or latch onto a new person in our life, thinking that this is surely the ticket to the confidence we've been missing. But even then, before we know it the same insecurities start creeping up on us. We start having the same problems, only with other people; it's as if nothing had ever changed.
But let's be clear: it isn't that there's anything wrong with getting an education, having a good job, earning money, falling in love, and making a contribution to society. These things are a natural part of our human experience; each has its own worth. But all such values are on one level of life, while the authentic change we're hoping to make in ourselves - that will finally bring us the contentment we long for - awaits us at a completely different level of life. And that's the point:
Unless a transformation occurs within us - at a deeper level - the outer achievements we may attain matter very little in the bigger scheme of things. We've all seen that truth: nothing essential can change in the way we feel about ourselves, or our life until we're able to make some essential, real change in ourselves.
So, what's going on here? We're sincere, intelligent people. Why can't we make a plan and follow through? Why don't our successes last? And the most important questions of all...
What does it take so that we really change? Where and how does it happen? Why is it that everything we try leads us back to the same place - and what should we be doing instead?
Stop Making These Two Critical Mistakes
There are important reasons why we don't change even in the face of our best efforts, and they are tied to two mistakes we make that sabotage us from the very beginning:
First, we think we know what real change is. But the evidence says otherwise. Sure, we may understand how to change our surface-level experiences, but we've yet to crack the code for making those deeper, permanent changes we all long for. That's why we always circle back around to the same discontent. The latest success always loses its luster. The new relationship too soon turns old, returning us to where we began our search: feeling incomplete.
Second, we think we have to change ourselves. We think there must be something we can do to remake ourselves. But there really isn't. After all, the limitations and frustrations that plague us are the result of the whole of what we are. Let's face it: we can't fix our own flaws anymore than a misfiring automobile engine can give itself a tune-up!
Clearly, to overcome both of these errors we need new information. We need to see ourselves in a new way. We need to develop new skills. We need to align ourselves with a greater understanding.
So, the first step to making real change is to stop believing in our own misguided efforts, and instead...
