Random thoughts

I ran into a blog about procrastination and change that cites studies about heart attack patients and how they have hard time effecting changes in their life style even after such a catastrophic event that exposes the need for the changes. It's easy to look down on these people and go, "man what stupid fat bastards, they can't even stop eating and start exercising when their life is on the line!" But are they so different from the rest of us? Can the things that help these people help us?

The article is very much in tune with what I believe about human nature and why it is so difficult to change, but at the same time realizing that it's not impossible to change. We need to be empowered with the right tools and support to make it happen. Human beings are creatures of habbit and learning to supress bad habbits and creating good ones is the fundamental beginning to creating change.

Let's take a moment to examine all the habbits we have that we'd like to change. Habbit of saying negative things and thinking negative thoughts. Habbit of putting other people down. whatever bad habbit you might have that you've been struggling with. And equally importantly let's think about all the habbits we have that we are proud. Habbit of sticking out for your frends and family. Habbit of being committed to doing the things you said you would. etc etc whatever they may be.

What's most important is to realize that we realize that change is possible, change is neccesary, and that only each of us have the power to change ourselves, but that our friends and family can help!

Life moves forward. Life is good. :]
