We still think worst though, mainly due to our upbringing, i.e. “ be careful”, and “don’t do that!”

I bet you remember hearing those when you were little. Your subconscious mind *certainly* does!

We’re talking about years of conditioning here, is not easy to push against our comfort zone, and anyone who says it is, they are just plain wrong.

Yes, it’s hard, but here’s good news.

Firstly it gets easier more we do it.

Secondly, once we learn to focus on positive possibilities of change rather than negative ones, life becomes an adventure, and far less scary.

If we try and avoid change, we won’t succeed. It comes to us anyway, and we then cower and shy away.

It really isn’t anything to be afraid of, so instead of waiting for change to catch you up, how about taking control, being in charge of change, and accepting it with a smile, as something new, progress!

You don’t have to pay it though!

Like I said, it’s a choice. If you don’t want to stop TV watching, that’s fine, but then you need to accept that you will not achieve your goal. Likewise, if you can’t be bothered to work an evening job for that needed finance, accept that your goal will not happen.

Even if you do decide that you can’t make effort, you have made progress, because you have made an important realisation of difference between dreaming and goal achievement.

Goal achievement always starts with a dream, and always comes with a price.

As a counter balance to all this ‘pay price’ stuff, don’t forget expression that ‘the best things in life are free’.

If you *are* prepared to pay price for your goals, you will enjoy an increase in self-esteem, excitement, happiness and all-round well being, which money couldn’t buy!
