Have you ever used a change machine?

You know the kind where you insert a paper dollar bill and get coins back.

You dollar bill is transformed. It’s still money but it looks and feels totally different.

This is what change is about.

If you want to change anything about yourself you have to be willing to totally transform parts of you.

You have to commit to the irreversible metamorphosis the way a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.

Real successful change doesn’t have a middle ground.

Yes, there’s a midpoint during the transformation but once you’re committed and cross that point there’s no going back, because if you do go back then, you really haven’t changed.

Change is hard.

Change is probably one of the most difficult things you’ll ever do in your life.

Why?

Because change is new, it’s unknown. You’re not aware of what will happen when you change and so it’s easier to stick with the familiar.

The thing is that you were built for change.

Humans are the ultimate change machines.

They have survived for thousands of years because they were able to change.

Fortunately for you, change doesn’t have to be as dramatic as the dollar changing machine or the caterpillar.

You can do it slowly, but if you want it to last you have to keep moving through the hard parts.

Look, the reality is that physically you are in a constant state of change. It’s just that you’re doing it involuntarily.

The miracle of nature is doing it all for you.

The change most people desire is mental, and that takes a work, actually it takes more commitment than work.

The commitment is the work.

If you you’re willing to invest in continued commitment to whatever change you want to make in your life then you will experience conscious transformation. If you’re not willing to commit then you will experience frustration.

Keep in mind that you’re not required to change, and you only have to if want to experience life differently than you are right now.
