Is it possible for people to change? Yes, we can!
Do most people change? Sadly, no.
Personal change is supremely difficult, even if we really, really wanna change. It's a death of sorts and therefore super scary.
Most of us prefer the devil we know over the devil we don't know.
But if we have faith, hope or optimism that we can create a new reality that is better than the fix that we're in - then it seems scarier to stay the same than to change.
If the door that we're scared to open - the one that leads into the darkened unformed room of our future - seems dangerous, then would it give us courage to know that we are the architects and decorators that can wield power and imagination over the space?
What would you do with the new, open space?
Wishing you an auspicious and transformed 2013 of your own creation.
