• Deliberate Change: Whatever it Takes

    by Alexander Becker on September 29, 2006 | Link

    In order to create, you have to have a precise goal. Long before the goal is ultimately spelled out, you know that things will eventually change. You may be eager to start. Right now. As soon as possible. Here is how.

    Whenever you intend to improve a situation and you just have no clue where and how to start, first decide whether you really want a change and if yes, introduce a difference, introduce something new, something old, add something or remove something.

    Change anything. It is really not important what you do. The mere fact that you do, is enough to get things going. By all means, act and alter the outcome of whatever you are dealing with. Leave your mark.

    Start with the most trivial thing. Start with your food or with your clothes, alter your looks or your immediate environment. Get a haircut or go to the stylist to experiment with your expression,

    • By doing something, you create.
    • By creating, you change things.
    • By changing and comparing, you evolve.
    • By evolving, you increase the experience, no matter what the actual outcome is.

    What if you fear the result to be worse than what you currently have? Obviously, you don't really want change. You have no stakes in improving the situation. You are content. Action, of any kind, will transcend your fear and even transform it into hope and ultimately into a new, tangible perspective.

    On the other hand, what would you lose?

    Nothing is irreversible. Nothing is absolute. And when you think it is -- it is not. Think again.

    All or nothing only works when you have it all and intend to keep it. Coming from nothing, all or nothing yields and maintains just that: nothing.

    Think in gradations. Build up from nothing to something to everything, gradually. Quantum leaps come for free along the way. Don't worry.

    It all comes down to answering the question whether you really, really want it. Once you are absolutely sure that what you have right now is not what you desire, and you are also sure about what it is that you do desire, you won't hesitate to even destroy and leave behind you, whatever it is, however comfortable it feels to you right now.

    One more thing. If you do something, go all out. Whatever you are doing, go all out. Make it so that nobody will ever forget the day that you've done that thing.
