The 3 Reasons Why People Fail to Change... Inspiration...

Hello Friends!

Millions of people are filled with information and knowledge and yet feel powerless to change. Motivational information is not enough. More information gives us more new goals without the empowering us to manifest them. Self-help is: helping yourself. 

For a small percentage of the population; the extremely disciplined and the mentally tough, self-help may indeed work. But where does that leave the rest of us? What about good people who desire change, only to lose motivation, forget inspiration and eventually wind up back to a place of what is painfully familiar?When the desire to change is approached from a faulty belief system, it can do more harm than good.

The 3 Reasons Why People Fail to Change

(1.)       Outside-in vs. Inside-Out approach

One of the major flaws of the self-help movement is that we get into the habit of “fixing.” We attempt to control or manage the outer symptoms instead of examining the belief system that caused the problem. Life is a mirror that reflects the beliefs of our heart. Working in weight loss for many years, I would explain to my clients: “The inner-weight creates the outer-weight.” Fixing ourselves is external. We are duped into believing that the doing creates the being. Not so. Focusing on expanding our “inner-being” is what creates the outward shifts in doing. Permanent life transformation comes from within. It is rooted in a shift in our heart’s core beliefs. When our self-worth and heart expands, so does our capacity to transform our lives.

(2.)  Forgetting the future is NOW

As it relates to change, I often hear people say … “someday.” Someday is not a legally recognized day of the week. People who live in the future or the past forfeit the greatest power, the power of the present moment. Starting today brings the future into the now. People who are afraid of change love to play the waiting game. The authentic life is not a future-based goal of becoming something or somebody— it is trusting who God’s word says we are now.

We determine the future with the choices we make every moment.

(3.)    Living from a false identity

My worth, dignity and value are anchored in the truth of God’s word and love for me. Self-help methods and gimmicks do not create miraculous life change. We can work on ourselves all day long, but only God’s Divine love can cause us to BECOME the people we are called to be. Self-acceptance is the foundation for lasting change. We don’t getting better by striving and toiling; we only become more frustrated. We get better when we receive the truth. We are already “whole and complete, lacking nothing.” Our daily actions reflect truth and power, after our beliefs do.

I will always be devoted to a lifestyle of personal growth

Personal growth is about receiving God’s best. Personal growth is refusing to carry any false or limiting belief that hinders God’s abundant plan for our lives. For those who desire to flourish and thrive, it is, no doubt a lifetime commitment. This weekend in Los Angeles, I will be joined by a dynamic group of women who are devoted to personal growth. If you are on the West Coast, consider joining us for Worthy, West Coast Women’s Conference. You will experience a tangible shift in your belief system. A change that will effortlessly and permanently empower you to live the life you envision.
