Change for the better

Wandering the world does not change what is inside your mind. You many have new perspectives and some opinions may be changed. Mostly the experience can show you many good reasons for self-change. However, overcoming the tough personal challenges can only be by our own effort. By having the courage to face our problems and deal with them.

Wondering what-could-have-been or wishing and hoping for an easier way out, does nothing to help us reach our goal of being happy. After we have spent a large amount of time and energy, ignoring what we wish to change in the end only gives us a loss of precious resource of life and our feet are still firmly on the starting line.

We are driven to change because we don't enjoy the feeling of weight on our shoulders from goals left until tomorrow. The unfinished business we have within ourselves is something, which will not go away.

Deep down we instinctively know that by working to be a better person has a lasting reward of peace of mind. Peaceful feelings that stay with us and helps us to give us balance in chaotic ups and downs of our daily life. The fear of facing our own problems can be so overwhelming that we lose sight of the happy conclusion.

This fear comes out of our idea that we have staked so much in who we are now that our identity seems bonded to it. That we will stay as we are right now, forever. The idea of change is thus associated with the loss of our self, as we know it.

To make these necessary changes from within we must let go of thinking of our self as a solid unchanging being. Remind ourselves that life is dynamic. It is changing all the time. That change is what gives this life beauty and hope.
