Once bitten ....keep biting!

Is is possible to change circumstances with ease.  There are so many books and talks, stating that you can change your diet, your health, your anger issues etc, but is it as clear as that?  We sometimes have an event or person that gives us a perspective on something and we really want to change it, but on a balance of probabilities, can it be achieved?  We may also have various habits or characteristics which we may need to change or be adjusted and the question there is whether all can be changed at once, or if it is a slow process.  I think that the answer is probably in favour of a slower change due to the fact that most changes take a while, to be fully effective.  The quick fix scenario, seldom holds for very long and we end up slipping back into the same habits.  But if you have the feeling to make a significant decision and you are prompted to set the wheels in motion, then decide on a specific approach and take meaningful steps to daily consider your actions and decisions.  Financial freedom is often spoken of in these terms where the chances of an overnight complete turn around is few and far between (and you have to have a lotto ticket or a proper benefactor).  Even those that are incredibly well off, have taken time to get to the result they are looking for.  For many the thought of going slowly towards a goal is too much to consider and they eventually abandon the idea.  I also find that often we feel motivated for a time and then a set back causes us to loose belief in a project or decision and we rather stick to the notions and circumstances we can handle and are used to.  Our comfort zones are wonderful places of bondage.  Many times people go about a change too fast and push too hard, to change every aspect they can all at once.  A total change is not always the way to go and rather taking an aspect of a circumstance and working on that daily, will get you to the end almost quicker than if you go heading straight into something  - you may get some of the way, but at the end not all the way.  Rather go step by step and tick off the successes until the small successes result in a big win.
