Self development and improvement is all about change. If we were happy with the status quo, we wouldn't be seeking to improve ourselves, would we? Yet, change requires us to get out of our comfort zone. Change requires a certain amount of risk. Yes, even good changes that we greatly desire require courage. Do you have the courage you need to change in the ways you hope to change?
We human beings are creatures of habit. We get many habits, both things we do and things we think, while we are still children. The parents, teachers, and friends who influenced us while we were young have a lot to do with the person we are right now. If those people programmed us with attitudes of helplessness, fear, or inadequacy, then it is only natural that we want to change these feelings. Yet even casting off negative thoughts requires courage.
