The Proccess of Changing Old Habits
By Willis Miller
Hello Again!
Willis L Miller here again. Our topic for today is, "Can old habits change?" This is a question I have for you to consider. There is a saying that goes like this. "You can't teach old dogs new tricks!" That saying is very accurate when it comes to the literal meaning of that phrase. People are a bit like that, in formulating a excuse to not do that certain new activity or excursion or whatever may be. Because they plain and simple do not want to do that because of fear of the unknown!
The difference I see between us humans and dogs, is that God has given us the power of choice to do as we want. Dogs don't have the ability to think and choose what they want to do, based on logical thinking. We as created human beings do. The process of changing old habits I admit is not at all easy. In fact I believe it's one of the hardest things to change as we get older. When it involves dealing with our will or what we want to do for whatever reason, it becomes a lot easier to just let it go and keep putting up with it. I mean we can put up with ourselves a whole lot easier then someone else. We tend to expect other peoples habits to change instead of ours because we think life would become easier for us, if "they" would change.
The truth is that if we would change ours first then "they" will more likely change theirs to. And besides we'll find that by changing our habits first, our perspective on "them" will change for the better. So it's almost like a win win situation! When something becomes entrenched in our daily habits, we have a hard time processing the idea of coming out of the trench and moving on to a different tune. It only happens when the perceived need becomes great enough, and if there is no other option then the choice making becomes a want to, or maybe by then it's a have to).
Sometimes it's good to take a look back on our lives to see the problematic issues that have risen again and again because of our old habits. If we're concerned enough about it, (we should be concerned)hopefully motivation will drive us to get with the program, and do whatever it takes to get out of the rut! Fear of people, fear of not being able to match up to our circle of friends, fear of unknown, fear of failure,fear of being manipulated by others, fear of missing out on something and the list could go on, ect. can keep the good life style changes from happening if we would just release those fears and open our minds to new possibilities!! It keeps life fun when we can stay out of our own comfort zones and be open to do things differently then what we're used to.
We have a choice. We can stay within our cultured comfort zones and reap the benefits of being a shriveled up "crab apple":( Or we can expand ourselves and try something new now and then, and reap the benefits of creativity. Creativity in our lives helps us to not get stuck so much from old habits. Life is meant to be enjoyed! It's going to be up to me personally to actually change and do something about it. Do I fear that process? All the thinking up of excuses in the world will not change anything. I need to take that actual step in producing change. That will be the only way toward the right direction! So take courage and take a deep breath and take that step toward a new you!
That all again for now, so keep on plowing ahead and do something successful in your life.
Best Regards,
