"You can conquer others with power, but it takes true strength to conquer yourself." Lau Tzu "I used to say, 'I sure hope things will change.' Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change." Jim Rohn |

Why Changing Yourself? You cannot become what you want to be by remaining what you are. The best place to start change is with yourself. If whatever you do doesn't work, you must be flexible you must change your action plan if the current one does not produce the required results. If you want other people to change, you must be prepared to make the first step yourself. If you cannot change your environment, you should change your attitude. Buddhism: Spiritual Growth and Facing Reality Unafraid Buddha taught that "the one who has conquered himself is a far greater hero than he who defeated a thousand times a thousand men." He recognized the ego presence that feels threatened by and therefore fears the truth. This mental power is resisting the simple spiritual act of shining the light of consciousness toward your ultimate inner source. "To see reality clearly, we must learn to let go of all our cherished beliefs about who we are and what life in general is all about. We can't hold one thing tightly in our grasp, and at the same time reach out and take something new. We must let go of and put aside what we are grasping, in order to be able to receive something that we want or need much more. All spiritual and psychological growth requires a letting go of a limited belief in order to open up and receive a more expansive belief or even better, a direct experience of reality that makes all beliefs unnecessary. This is the challenge of spiritual growth: to enlighten the ego to where it realizes, through more and more meditative experience, that letting go of judgments about reality and embracing reality itself, is not only worthwhile but essential to a truly fulfilling life."4 Buddha observed, however, that the ego is fearful of its own demise and will fight hard to preserve its groundling. We should learn how to conquer these fears within us that resist change.

Using NLP NLP is the psychology of excellence and the technology of achievement and success. NLP is an accessible model to enhance effective communication, personal change and personal development... More NLP Solutions: Neuro Logical Levels of Change The NLP Technology of Achievement was specially developed to discover how people can excel, and most particularly when managing change how to create the 'difference that makes the difference'. One of the NLP leading thinkers, Robert Dilts, suggests that there are six neuro logical levels of learning, communication and change. In a hierarchical order, they are: purpose, mission, beliefs and values, capabilities, behavior, and environment. Any changes made at the higher levels will have a greater influence on you than those made at the lower levels. NLP Solutions: Reframing Reframing is a powerful technique to enable change. Different levels of experience influence the way we live our lives. The value of reframing is being able to consider an issue from many different aspects. Reframing is a way of getting people to think: 'How else can I do or consider this?'... More The formulation and use of the personal balanced scorecard make up the first step in change management. First, it enables a person to distance himself from his mindsets his mental framework, assumptions and beliefs coloring the world and allows him to listen effectively to his inner voice. This helps him to improve his behavior and create his own future. After all, we become more creative as we become more conscious of ourselves, our inner processes and motives. By scrutinizing ourselves, and achieving a better self-image and self-knowledge, we improve our learning ability. Self-knowledge means self-awareness. Formulating ones personal ambition is a search for ones identity. Understanding ones identity is the key to action.
