Change can definitely be good, but always we all must make sure its positive change. Because in the end.. it is definitely easier to change your ways into something easier, but to change for the better is always harder. Just my take on it…

Till then,

The idea of change has always scare off any effort for personal growth. In learning that our comfort zone will be compromise, we become reluctant in giving ourselves a chance of being the best that we can be. It is all a matter of choice, if one is wise, he will never allow himself to deteriorate in the familiar.

Generally change can be associated with fear and our thought patterns, and I like the way you have brought in the concept of the unconscious which obviously will work well with change..

And to reap the beauty of personal development Action and Change like you have highlighted are the key..Thanks for writing this Awesome post…

Change is where it is at and the word indicates growth and evolution to me. Lessons have been learnt and assimilated, and it is time for embracing the new and moving forward. A good friend of mine makes a decent living out of transformation and change workshops.

@Karl – Yup, I see work is exactly how you put it, a place to enhance and make fun while developing ourselves and the people we work with and for. Work becomes so much more meaningful when there is more to it than the daily widget or problem being solved.

@Jonathan – Thanks so much for your added insight and I really like your term purposeful action. Sometimes action happens by an instinctive reaction or forced action (like many people at work) and this never has the same effect as a decision to change, and then the action taken on purpose. NICE!

Hi Mike,

I think all conscious change begins with a desire or idea. Thinking about change helps us to refine our vision of what we really want and how we might move toward it.

These are important and necessary steps toward personal change, but they only bring us to the starting line. Beyond that, change is the result of purposeful action. Without action it’s all just wishful thinking.

You covered this nicely Mike. For those who struggle with personal change, following the steps you’ve laid out here will be very helpful. One of my favorites is “Tell someone about the change you visualized.” This creates accountability, a powerful motivator for taking action.

I know I’ve had my problems with change. It really does stem from confidence. The more I keep trying and adding new skills the more confident I become. It’s this confidence that makes me feel like I can master the difficult task.

I advocate developing ourselves at work. Work shouldn’t just be about getting the work done. It should also be about improving our ability to enjoy work, improve our skills, and improve our ability to connect with each other.

When we look at personal development as life enhancer then it stops becoming work and becomes fun.

@Lance – Thanks for stopping by again lance! Envisioning change and visualizing ourselves experiencing it is definitely a strong method to make things start to happen. I know from my experience that change can easily take a new direction, especially when it becomes a continuous thing. That is certainly what I was getting at with the continual change section, perhaps not explicitly described that way. I know what you mean though!

@Oscar – thanks for the feedback. Challenges and methods that help us break old habbits and form new ones like daily action towards a change really are powerful change methods. Your point of incremental change fits right back into starting small and working up to more to more significant change.
