*** Are You Insane?

Albert Einstein once defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
Yet, many of you have done this time and time again. You unfortunately bring your past knowledge and beliefs into every situation.
You keep having the same types of negative experiences over and over again – it may be broken relationships, an unsatisfying career, or financial woes. And even though the circumstances, environment or people may vary in each, the results are the same.
But why are you so resistant to change your current way to thinking and your strategies to overcome life’s challenges?
Even though you feel disappointed and despondent when things do not work out as you planned and you are back to the proverbial, “square one”, what is really holding you back?
Is it because you feel unworthy of success?
Is it because you don’t want to admit to yourself or others that you made a mistake?
Or perhaps it is that you feel a sense of comfort in believing that the world is against you!
The truth is that, until you begin use this motivation strategy, “Develop the Desire to Change within You”, your current line of thinking will continue to lead you down the same fruitless path. And as a result, you will continue to lack the motivation to achieve what you truly want and deserve in life.
When you have the desire to change you will build a strong “will to do”, or will power. Your “will to do” equals your inner energy. You will begin to think differently, and as a result you will able to do ANYTHING that you desire. You will achieve a higher level of self mastery, leading to total control of your physical actions, mental health and mental power.
In 1976, there was a very popular and successful film called “Network”. The defining moment in the movie was when the lead character, Howard Beale (played by Peter Finch) is driven to the point where he says with passion, “I am as mad as hell, and I am not going to take it anymore”.
If you are not getting what you want in life, remain forever dissatisfied with what you are doing and your situation today. Take time for careful and honest self reflection and analysis to identify those beliefs and habits that do not work. It is not always easy to do however, it is critical in getting what you want in life.
Use my motivation strategy and “Develop The Desire To Change Within You”.
