Getting things done in a steady and correct matter is no easy task. If it were, we would all easily reach our life's goals. Planning is easy; execution is hard. That is why we have so many discarded plans that never amounted to anything.
There is hope in the planning process. As you write or think the plan it implies a new beginning. While the plan may be new - the person thinking the plan isn’t. And that is why new plans seldom work. To have a new beginning, the person planning must first make themselves new. And that is no easy task.
To begin new and fresh is to allow the process of change to take place. Change means giving up many things that are near and dear to us. To change is to seriously disrupt your comfort zone.
When I first engaged this process several years ago, I presumed that serious introspection needed to take place. To discover the motivation for behavior seemed important to me.
It was almost too easy when I began to understand how wedded we are to our comfort zones, no matter how insignificant or destructive they may be. But like all revelations, they are easy in the thinking part and difficult in the doing part.
Revelations often reveal serious character flaws. These flaws are embedded deep in our consciousness, and these flaws often mask themselves as virtues. And virtue, no matter how misdirected, gives one the excuse that is needed to keep the status quo alive. All of this is a significant barrier to break down.
Break troughs do not come easy, but they do come. At the point when you realize that only change will keep you alive mentally and physically - you have a choice to make.
You are faced with the choice of new life or a permanent type of stagnation. And if that does not get your attention nothing will.
