You may have some sort of transformation on the list of changes to make in the New Year. Maybe you’ve been thinking about this for a long time.
Let’s pause for a moment as GenuLines asks if you have what it takes.
Are You Even Capable of Personal Transformation?
People seem to want changes in their lives. They might want a new career.
Or they want to lose weight. Some want to do something different that nobody’s done before.
They want to go through some personal transformation.
But is it even possible for us to transform?
Think about the number of times you’ve made New Year’s resolutions. Did any of them last?
Many people give up because they know it’s an exercise in futility. Then, you have those who try over and over again to lose weight.
They try one diet after another and after a few months gain most of the pounds back.
On the other end of the spectrum are people who have overcome major obstacles. They’ve thrived, often never looking back from their new situations.
Do some of us have different wiring?
Most people are capable of transforming their lives. If that weren’t true, you’d have way fewer success stories in the world.
It depends on how badly people want to make changes. Sometimes, people aren’t ready for a change.
Your environment also plays a huge role in determining success in implementing changes. Being with negative-thinkers who discourage change is going to make succeeding difficult.
If you’re looking to transform, align yourself with people who want to help you succeed.
People are different. Some are naturals at making transformations.
And they don’t need help or encouragement from others.
They have strong wills and keep going until the change becomes part of their lives. Others need more help and encouragement.
Look to the past
Your upbringing could be a factor in how well you adapt to change. Let’s say your parents preferred the status quo.
Your first reaction to change might be hard, at least in the beginning.
Bear in mind, there are plenty of people who break away from the mold of their families. They make changes in spite of their family backgrounds.
Don’t give up. If something doesn’t work out, try something else or look at the situation in a different way.
Learn from your mistakes and failures and continue until you’re where you want to be. Determination and persistence are your biggest allies when making your transformations.
Granted, it’s never easy. If it were, everyone would make the necessary changes and change would not be scary.
Never let anyone stand in the way of something you must do.
