We allow our subconscious to dictate how we live in the present and that will never help us initiate change. We must be the ones who initiate and want change.
Change can only happen when we are willing to embrace change. We can talk about change and most of us do, but unless we’re prepared to deal with and work through what we get to deal with, issues stored in our subconscious, how we think will never change and therefore we will never change.
It is possible for us to change. Once we're through the other end, it is also possible to inspire others to change, but unless they are ready for change, there is nothing we can do to make them change. Readiness for change always comes at a time when we’re ready to deal with the issues that once forced us to hold back.
Readiness is something we should continually work on, triggered by notable experiences that we are ready to address. Usually it's when we're tired of carrying other people's guilt and tired of living with other people's beliefs.
We should all want to change. We should want to make the connections through a deeper sense of purpose. I hope that will happen. Initiating change is part of the 'healing process.'
Yes, it has been very sad that I have allowed my fear of change to dictate my life, when it could have been so much different had I not.
There was a time when I could have been happy with the kind of woman I had always wanted to be with, but I chose the path of least resistance and have suffered ever since.
I watched my parents waste most of their lives doing the same old thing and being miserable, so I should know that I need to change my ways if I ever want a chance to be truly happy.
The hardest part for me, has always been taking that first leap of faith, since it seemed to always end so badly before, but these are very different times and I don't have to go through it alone now.
Thanks Randy. Yes, the part you describe is the part we all may struggle with, but we must take the 'leap of faith' to have a realistic chance of peace.
Letting history repeat itself is sadly soul destroying and is something we need to change. Wasting time and letting the clock tick away, talking about what we must change and not changing is counter-productive to our life and can make us ill if we continue to emotionally hone in on it.
The best thing I ever did was take that 'leap of faith' with the Diary. Without that, I'd still be in the same emotional place. I'd still be unhappy and without a diagnosis or answers.
We really must initiate change if we want to have a better quality of life.
I unconsciously straighten my posture each time I initiate change and each time I visit this site. This blog was particularly helpful.
You're making me hold a firm grip on things, Ilana.
That's lovely. I can't tell you how pleased I am that you are able to get a firm grip on things through my blogs.
This is music to my ears Tim. Thank you!!!
