Creating Massive Results From Change

"Things don't change. We change." - Henry David Thoreau Steps to Making Change:

1) Make a decision. That means it is not merely a passing interest or desire, but a firm decision. The word "decision" is from the Latin word "de-caedere" meaning 'to cut'. What this means is you cut away any other possibilities. In Korean a similar term is "Gyuldahn". These words indicate finality, the end of one thing and the beginning of another. Decisions are logical conclusions as well as acts of willingness and commitments to action; 2) Train your mind and body to accept this change. We have neural associations (physical nerve connections in the brain) with pre set behaviors, and unless we change those associations, we cannot change our behavior. If our brain likes smoking, more than it hates it, we will not be able to stop smoking. To stop smoking you must associate more pain than pleasure to the action. All human actions and decisions originate in the pain-versus-pleasure principle; and 3) Any change must be reinforced through repetition. It is difficult to give up a habit, here a bad one, and even more difficult to keep a good one. Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do"

Everything we do results from our trying to avoid pain and our move toward pleasure. Most people don't achieve what they want in life because they focus on the short-term pain, rather than the long term pleasure. Rewire your neurology so you associate pain with negative emotions and events, and replace it with the pleasure of the positive.



How to Create Lasting Change For changes to be of any true value they're got to be lasting and consistent. We have all experienced change for just a moment, only to feel let down and disappointed in the end. People attempt change with a sense of fear and dread because unconsciously they believe the changes will only be temporary. A great example of this is someone wants to go on a diet but puts it off, primarily because he unconsciously knows that whatever pain he endures in order to create the change will bring him only a short-term reward.

There are three fundamental principles of change we can use immediately to change our lives. While these principles are simple, they are extremely powerful when they are skillfully applied. These are the exact same changes an individual must make to maximize its potential, and a country must make to carve out its place in the world.

To start, raise your standards! Any time you genuinely want to change, the first thing you MUST do is to raise your standards. When people have asked successful people what really changed their life, they are told that the most important thing is changing what they demand of themselves.

Write down all the things:

1) You no longer will accept in your life; 2) All the things you will no longer tolerate; and 3) All the things that you aspire becoming.

Think of the phenomenal consequences set in motion by men and women who raised their standards and acted in accordingly, deciding they would tolerate any less. History reminds us of some leaders Albert Einstein, Thomas A. Edison, Mahatma Gandhi, Leonardo da Vinci, Abraham Lincoln, Helen Keller, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and many others who took the unconquerable steps in raising their standards. The same power that was available to them is available to you. You just need to muster the courage to claim it. "Changing an organization, a company, a country - or a world - begins with the simple step of changing yourself". For achieving change in your lifetime visit www.powermastery.com.
