Do you do what you want to do? Try this! April 2006

 
  Dear Nigel,

You know the expression: "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink".

I did not understand the full significance of this saying until I started leading personal development courses.

I would be confronted with someone living a life with a significant limitation (a fear or phobia), and I would offer a possible remedy. "Do you want to change your life now?" The answer, not directly, but clearly was "No!"

Many times people will even to acknowledge the issue exists. Statements come out like: "My life would not really be any better if I did fly by airplane!"

Change can only come about when the person wants it.
Change can only come about when a company wants it!
Change can only also come about when a country really wants it!

And the most dramatic change comes when the person is most desperate for it.

Change means growing. Resisting change means trying to stand still and stop time.

 
 
For horses at the water: Try this:-

Think of something that you want to do (i.e. want to change)
or
if there is something that you do not want to do;

then

State it in the positive: I want to be confident (rather than - I don't want to be anxious);
and
Ask yourself:

"What would happen if you did make that change?"
give yourself time to fully explore the answer, and then,

"What would happen if you didn't make that change?"
again give yourself time to fully explore the answer

Now ask yourself:
"What wouldn't happen if you did make this change?"
take plenty of time to find the full answer

and lastly
"What wouldn't happen if I didn't make this change?"

 
 

What are you going to do with this new clarity about what you want to change?
Drink some water!!

If you have any holidays coming up, enjoy them!
