Hi Kenneth,
We met years ago in Adelaide OCF… Just want to let you know that I’m really inspired by your writings. I just have a question – how do you change yourself, because there’s a saying that a leopard cannot change its spots.

Thanks a bunch!

Jon

Hi Jon,

I can still remember you after so long.

One of the ways to change yourself is first understand what is the problem or thing you want to change. Next, you want to be emotional about it, if you don’t feel the need to change, then its pointless. However, if it continues to make you feel disturbed, frustrated, then you will have to make a decision; to change or go back the same place where you started.

For example, if you want to lose weight, You must understand why you want to do it, not just in your mind but in your heart as well! There are many people who want to change, but they do not want to pay the price of change! One way to effect change is to get emotional…. I do not mean crying over it, but having something stir your heart.

Back to the example of weight lost, you may feel that you had enough of walking around with people calling you names, feeling frustrated at they way they look at you, sick and tired of doctor telling you that anytime you might suffer from a huge stroke or diabetes. When you are emotional, you WILL WANT to do something about it. You may shout, “Enough is enough…. I’ve had it with all the things that are happening in my life!”

Here’s my secret formula (no big secret now after sharing to thousand over readers):
Emotions + Compelling Desire + Consistent Action = Change

This is not the only way to change, but a way to stir your heart. I hope that it will stir your heart and create a compelling desire that leads to consistent action. All this will result in Change!
