To be honest, change is difficult,
really difficult. But without it, we are not going to make any progress in life.
But if you do decide to make a change in your life,
here is how to go about it, according to Katy Milkman.
If you fall, start again. If you fail, don't stop. keep going. Start again.
'Fresh starts increase your motivation to change because
they give you either a real clean slate or the impression of one; they relegate
your failures more cleanly to the past; and they boost your optimism about the
future.'Focus on what is important to you right now.'Present bias often causes us to procrastinate on tasks that serve our
long-term goals.' Do not play with what is important to you.
Why is that? Because your future starts right now.
It starts with what you are doing right now.
Do not doubt yourself. Self-doubt is the beginning of failure. If you
want to get ahead in your life, you must put self-doubt behind you.
'Self-doubt can keep you from making progress
on your goals or prevent you from setting goals in the first place.'Focus on what you can do really well. Use your strengths to change your life.
Do not focus on what you cannot do. Pay attention to what you are good at
and use it to change your life.'Focus on personal experiences
that make you feel successful or proud. This kind of self-affirmation
makes you more resilient and helps you quash self-doubt.'
To change your life, to change anything in your life,
you MUST question everything!
'Question everything!' If you want to change your life, you must ask great questions.
Do not judge yourself.'No one can help anyone from a judger place.'' Because 'with judger mindest, the future can only be a recycled version of the past.'' Do not recycle your life. Live it. You are here to live, not to live in the past.
Change starts with you. 'Change begins with the person who wants the change.'' The question is, do you want the change? If not, why not?
Change your questions. 'Change your questions, change your results.' Look, if you want to get different results, you must change your questions.
Do not blame yourself. Do not blame other people.'Blame keeps us stuck in the past. Responsibility paves the path for a better future.' To go forward, take responsibility for your actions. Because blaming other people won't change anything. The only person who can change something is you.
According to Marilee, 'Focusing on blame blinds us from seeing real alternatives and solutions. It's almost impossible to fix a problem when operating from blame.'Be Flexible.'Switching is what makes it possible to change. Switching is where the action is.'' In life, nothing stays the same. If you want to change yourself, be open to anything, from anywhere.
Be curious.'Curiosity is the fast track to learner.' Why is that? According to Marilee, 'A question not asked is a door not opened.' Questions open doors. They are your greatest assets. So use them really well.
