Sometimes when you strive to achieve something you have not yet experienced before, you encounter resistance from other people, your environment, and yourself— often before you have even started. A deep desire for change starts from the inside out.
I think that's why so many people start off on new programs and new paths and then just stop dead or fizzle out. Rhonda Britten tells us that fear's job is to keep us safe and change is NOT safe...even positive change. Another thing that John Assaraf said that I "heard" on deep levels was "Are you interested in or committed to real change?"
If you are committed to any type of change in your life be it spiritual growth, weight loss, new exercise program, whatever .... you may want to ask yourself the above question. Are you interested or committed? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to keep the program going? There are going to be times that you just do not want to continue. The biggest resistance in any change comes from ourselves. It's natural.
Be loving to yourself, pick yourself up, and continue on with your program because you are, after all, committed to change and not just interested in it. Right ? :) Onward and upward my friends!
