We often hear that we are “ruffling someone’s feathers” when we organize change.
What we don’t realize is that we “ruffle our own feathers” when we try to change something in our own life.
We create resistance to our own desire for change.
Until we can listen to what our old behavior is telling us, we will not know how to change it.
Once we substitute language for the life we desire, we can begin to look for results.
The result will be a feeling that change is possible.
Once we realize that it depends on us, and not on outside factors, we can become an effective advocate for ourselves.
That old habit is not doing us any good.
It is keeping us in a place we wish to improve upon.
The new language we use to describe ourselves can lift us out of our old place.
The new habit of accepting an improved view, brings us into that view.
While the new language is becoming a habit, we may find ourselves slipping back and forth between our old results and some new results.
The happiness we are feeling because of the new results motivates us to continue replacing our old language with our new language.
This becomes so habitual that we start spending more time doing what we love in a place we have defined for ourselves.
Then the old “ruffled feathers” no longer concern us.
