If you want a fresh start in life, you will probably need to change your life. And change, by its very nature, is something that we are not comfortable with.
What makes changes so difficult is that for all of our lives we have lived with a set of beliefs (a world view) that we have about ourselves, who we are and what others believe and expect (or not) of us. Our beliefs are initially given to us (we are born into them) and we adopt them without question (we don’t have much of a choice) until they go underground and become habits. The need to challenge our beliefs will seem risky, we have a lot invested in them. No surprise, what we say is right and wrong is founded on our beliefs, and being “wrong” about the way we see ourselves and the world is out of the comfort zone of most of us.
SAY “YES!” TO LEARNING EVEN IF YOUR MIND TELLS YOU IT IS RISKY!
As an executive and personal lifestyle coach, my advice to clients is to always challenge their beliefs, understand there origins and take inventory on the beliefs that no longer work for them vs those that do. That their experience of life is one that only they can determine. “Always be learning” is the place to start from if you want to have a bigger dream or vision. Don’t be confined to your history and other’s expectations of you, you can be anything you want. Learning something new is the gateway to a new and different life.
