Train to Change

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not a mere act but a habit.”
~Aristotle

Many people have the desire to change but are either scared to or don’t know how. Well look at it from my perspective. If you’re scared its only because you value you’re your peers opinions too heavily. I’ve learned that peer pressure only minimizes personal priorities. How much it affects those priorities is contingent upon how much you value what they think. Its one think to respect your peers and soak in their opinions but its another thing to allow it to confine you to the status quo. Don’t be afraid to step out of the box (especially if you’re taking a stand for what’s right) and change. On another note, some may not know how to change. The key to change is consciousness. For if you remain aware of what you are trying to change and apply it. . .change is inevitable. Therefore I refer you back to Aristotle. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not a mere act but a habit” Have you ever noticed when you are training a dog to sit, the only thing you can do is give them a signal and repeatedly tell them how to react to it? Sooner or later they catch on, understand the signal and abide by it. The same applies to training yourself. Repetitively teach your body or mind how to react to certain situations and soon you will see your aspiration precede.
