Visitors from the past

The decision to change is the triumph of the first great battle; but the war isn't over.

The decision to change is the most critical decision of all. Without the decision, there's no departure from your present state. What determines your success is the perseverance one must demonstrate to stay focused on the goal, especially when we haven't yet experienced the rewards.

When we decide to implement changes in our life, we need to understand one critical fact. The decisions we made in the past that weren't congruent with our present intentions can still come and confront us. Despite our desire to change, our past keeps reminding us that it won't let go easily. The good news is that plenty of people have overcome self limiting behaviour and so can you.

What can you do to stack the odds in your favour?

-Don't let people pigeonhole you in the past. You're decision to change is a pact with yourself. It really has nothing to do with anyone else. People may not recognize you're changing your ways, it doesn't mean you're not changing.

-Constantly remind yourself of the little changes you're making. It's the little things that accumulate to make a big difference.

In the beginning, you'll often experience reminders of your past conduct, and it can make you wonder if you'll ever actualize your goal. With perseverance, your new choices will come to fruition and you'll begin to see the results of a decision you made; not too long ago.
