Change is like a pair of shoesWritten by Jason Johns
Change is something we all go through all time, though we may not realise it. We cannot actually see change happening, we just see results of change. Sometimes change is easy, other times it is a long and torturous process. How difficult change is depends a lot on your attitude towards it and your resistance to it. You attitude to change can itself change, and make whole transformation process much easier to bear. It all depends on your perspective. Imagine change as a pair of shoes, this will help you understand change and how it works. Let me explain. I am sure that you have at sometime in your life had a comfortable pair of shoes. You know sort I mean. A pair of shoes so comfortable that you really don't want to ever get rid of them and you wish you had bought a dozen pairs at same time. The fit your feet so perfectly you can almost forget you are even wearing shoes. You know you need a new pair, and may even have them, but you don't want to wear them because you are comfortable with your current pair. Besides, new pair may hurt your feet, give you blisters or be awkward to wear to start with. So, you resist new shoes. However, a part of you knows that this new pair would be much better for your feet, and after initial discomfort would probably be even more comfortable, yet still you resist.

The language we use programs our brains. Mastering our language gives us a great degree of mastery over our lives and our destinies. It is important to use language in best way possible in order to dramatically improve your quality of life.Even smallest of words can have deepest effect on our sub-conscious mind. It is like a child, it doesn’t really understand difference between what really happens and what you imagine. It is eager to please and willing to carry out any commands that you give it – whether you do this knowingly or not is entirely up to you. “Try” It is a small word yet it has an amazing impact upon us. If someone says, “I’ll try to do that” you know that they are not going to be putting their whole heart in to it, and may not even do it at all. How often do you use word try when talking about things that matter to you? Do you say “I’ll try to be more confident” or “I’ll try to do that” or “I’ll try to call”? Think about something that you would like to achieve, and say it to yourself in two different ways. Firstly say, “I’ll try to …” and notice how you feel. Next say “I will do …” and see how you feel. The latter made you feel better than first one didn’t it? It gives you a sense of determination; a feeling that it will be done. Listen to people around you and when they say they will try notice if it gets done or not. Eliminate word try from your dictionary and see how your life improves.
