Can People Really Change?

Take heart. The answer is a resounding YES. But knowing how human mind works will help you bring about the change that much easier. So read on and then take action. Without any action on your part, there won't be any change.

Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?

The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to go.

David Lucero knows where he wants to go: He wants to go to El Paso, Texas.
David is about sixty years old, I think. For the last three months, he has been living on a sidewalk across the street from a Greyhound bus station.

I don’t know how long David has been homeless. He is one of America’s walking wounded—mentally ill, unable to take care of himself, unable to cope with the business of life. He is always happy to talk, although you have to repeat yourself a few times before he can understand you: David is losing his hearing.

One day I tried to take him to a shelter for the homeless. All he had to do was get in the pickup truck. He had to make a decision: Get in or stay on the street. The right decision could have started the cycle of healing and change, but it was more than David was capable of doing that morning. He decided to stay on the street, waiting for his imaginary ride to El Paso.

When I meet people like David, I tell myself that Lewis Carroll didn’t make anything up when he wrote Alice in Wonderland. I have met many people who are flesh and blood Cheshire Cats, Mad Hatters, and Queens of Hearts.

I come into contact every day with people whose lives and families have been torn apart by bad habits: people addicted to cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs; over-spenders, over eaters, and chronic worriers; negative thinkers, procrastinators, and people who won’t forgive themselves for something that happened long ago.

I have seen firsthand how bad habits keep ordinary people from living happier and healthier lives. Everywhere you look, people want to know why they are unhappy. And they want to know what they can do about it.

The talk shows offer a constant menu of miracle cures for every type of bad habit imaginable—everything from quick weight-loss programs to 20-minute lessons in positive thinking that promise to cure depression. We are constantly bombarded by programs that promise effortless and immediate results: Lose weight fast, while eating as much as you want! Guaranteed to work! Sure.

We are overwhelmed with solutions today. And the more solutions there are, the harder it is to find one that works. Many people have failed so many times that they’ve almost given up the battle. Others gave up a long time ago.

Success is your birthright

If success is every person's birthright, why only a hand full of people succeed in what they wanted to achieve in in their life and others keep struggling and never seem to make any progress?

If they just dream about their success and take no action to turn their dreams into reality they have nobody else to blame but themselves. But I am talking about the people who not just dream big know that they have to take action to turn their dreams into reality. Be it personal development, making money online, internet marketing. They take appropriate action and and do whatever it takes to succeed in life. Still some succeed in their grand vision others make some progress and then feel stuck.

There are others who dream big and fully realize that they have to take action to succeed but, for some reason, could not bring themselves to take action. Despite their best intentions to succeed in life, they just dream and take no action or find some excuse for not taking action. I used to be like that. Life was hell for me because I was dreaming about a glorious life of abundance all the time, but the reality for me was just the opposite. I was able to overcome my limitations by using a two pronged strategy. I am posting it here with the believe that any warriors who in the same situation may try and benefit from it. You can try this for free thanks to internet and youtube. You don't have to fork out hundreds or thousands of your hard earned money to any self improvement guru.

I believe that the right mindset of the student is important to be successful at this. You could be skeptical especially if you have tried some other self help program and did not get the results you wanted. But you should be ready and willing learn the new techniques. Let your mind be open and receptive to the changes that is taking place inside you.

The two pronged strategy is: Tapping - EFT and meditation.

You can learn tapping in less than 5 minutes by going you tube:

Tapping worked for me because I am a person who needed instant and constant feedback and encouragement without it I would have given up like many other programs I tried previously.

You can also learn meditation by doing a search in google or youtube. There are some great tutorials online. There are two types of meditation - one focuses on concentration the other on relaxation. You may want to try both methods and decide which one suits your personality. I practice one that focuses on relaxation.

I wish you all success.
