WHAT CHANGE?
SAME OLE SAME OLE
10/29/09
What could one expect, honestly? “CHANGE”
When we focus on change we get change... kind of. What we get is misguided intention. So if our intention is placed on change, we will get change. Its just that it could be anything: in any size, in any color, in any shape, in any form... it is misguided intention. This is like setting a goal to be wealthy… well, what does that mean? How wealthy? What amount do you consider wealthy? Is it to acquire a million dollars in net worth? To BE wealthy by when? Is it next year or 80 years from now? If we truly want change, then our intention must BE focused on the desired outcome we seek.
Because “change requires doing different things different”. We must step out of our comfort zone, sometimes. Just like a new pair of jeans… they just don’t feel like our favorite pair, with the holes in the knees and the worn our seat. So many times people will say they want change and truly meant it, however it is much more comfortable to stay in the “same ole same ole” way of doing things… no matter how miserable it may be. That is because that is what we have become accustomed to. It is as comfortable as our favorite pair of jeans, even if they became covered in pine tar over time. If that is what we have accepted to wear, then that is what we have allowed ourselves to get comfortable with.
WE MUST BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS TO WHAT WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO GET COMFORTABLE WITH IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE.
Sometimes the changes are so subtle, we may accept a little discomfort here and little discomfort there and WHAM...the next thing we are asking is, how did we get here?
This is not comfortable at all.
Do we let others nudge us along (still having discomfort) to fit in with their scheme of things, stuck in the same ole same ole?
or
Do we allow ourselves to stay in our comfort zone just because we fear change, where we are most comfortable,
stuck in the same ole same ole?
or
Do we make a decision to accept some discomfort, and then focus our intention on our desired outcomes.
The difference is... WE MUST BE THE ONES TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO SET OUR FOCUSED INTENTIONS ON THE DESIRED OUTCOMES,
AND LIVE THE LIFE WE WISH TO LIVE .
WILL WE END UP BEING MORE COMFORTABLE ON A HAMMOCK OR A BED OF NAILS? IT IS OUR DECISION TO MAKE .
