One of the great gifts that we have been given by the Universe is that, if we don’t like any aspect of our thoughts, beliefs or behaviours, we can always change! No matter how young or old you are, you can always change.

Never buy in to the concept that you are too old to change; whilst change may take a little longer as we get older, because we are more set in our ways, if we want to change we can. recent research into the concept of neuroplasticity confirms that we are never too old to change.

One of the keys is to make sure that the pay-off, or benefit of the change outweighs your resistance to it.

As an example of how to change, take a look at Abraham Lincoln. He decided one day that he wanted to make some changes to his personality – so he sat down and drew up a list of the 15 character traits that he most admired in other people. He then rated himself against each of these traits and set aside a week for developing each trait in himself. He transformed himself and became the person he wanted to be.

How about you – are you the person you want to be? If not, only you can make the necessary changes… what are you waiting for?
