If you want to improve your house, then you need to change it. If
you want to improve your life, then you have to embrace change.
If beliefs are causing us pain and suffering, then why don’t we
change them? Why haven’t we done what needs to be done to have exactly the kind
of life that we want?
It is because we’ve been programmed to fear change. We are
addicted to certainty. We would rather be certain we are miserable than to risk
being happy and satisfied. We are programmed to always look for security and
survival, and we are also programmed to fear the unknown.
Making a decision says something about you. It’s also true that not
making a decision says something about you. So don’t get hung up on the end
of the pendulum swinging back and forth between “yes” and “no.” Giving yourself such a conflict means
you are avoiding change.
