If we want to learn something about ourselves, we must observe ourselves. Most of our behaviors are done without our knowledge. If we want to make a change in a certain area in our lives we must observe what we do to resist change.
Change isn’t easy. But if we want to do something to fulfill our purposes, change is a prerequisite. Change is required. That’s why it’s true that if we want something, it requires great labor to get it.
Change requires labor. And labor that we’re not used to isn’t easy. Change is difficult but not impossible. However, observing our behaviors will help us seek out those behaviors that are keeping us from doing what we need to do to make change possible.
The hardest part about change is to maintain it. It’s something that we can continue to do is to keep out old habits and to maintain new changes until those new behaviors become new habits.
Time is the important element to the process of change. It takes time to develop new habits. Instead of waiting until tomorrow to start changing old habits, why not we start today.
It’s just a delay, if we wait for tomorrow. Remember tomorrow is just an illusion. If we think about it, tomorrow is not real but today is real because we’re in it.
Mike, the brain is remarkable.

I watched a documentary about this a while ago. You are absolutely correct about the brain changes. It just goes to show that we have a lot more control over our bodies than we give ourselves credit for.
Martha, you’re right. It take a certain about of time for a habit to form. Do you know our brain changes as well? We develop new neuro-pathways in our brain.

They say it takes 30 days to change a habit. Our behaviors are nothing more than habits. If we are willing to change, and change our MINDS, our behavior will follow.
