Isn't it amazing how unaware we can become of our thoughts, actions and behavior, howstubbornly we follow the same route, and how perplexed we feel when we don't seem tobe achieving or progressing? If we remain on the same road, keep doing the same things,and don't endeavor to introduce change into our lives, then how can we expect things tochange for us? There is always the frantic search for the 'quick fix' in an effort to changeovernight what has taken a lifetime to create - our behavior!
The current emphasis on developing a Positive Mental Attitude is very laudable, butunfortunately it takes a little more than just a shift in attitude to undo the damage that wehave allowed to creep into our lifestyle through our behavior. We need to change ourbehavior before we can expect things to change for us in any radical manner. Wouldn't itbe great if we could just 'think' ourselves out of situations? We have to 'behave'ourselves out of these situations, by unlearning some of the bad behaviors and habits wehave developed. It's really a reconditioning process, because most of our habits andcomfort zones are the results of conditioning in one form or another.
