Why We Dont Change
We view change as just another way of being told we are “not good enough”. We were “not good enough” in the past, and we need to do “better”. Given this viewpoint, it is no wonder change and personal growth are so hard to achieve.
This happens because we are taking what we are learning here in the NOW moment, and we are retroactively applying this information to events which happened in the PAST. We are using new information and skills as a way of proving we were “not good enough” in the PAST because we did not know then what we do know now.
“I don’t want to change because it shows me what I did wrong in the past. I don’t want to change because it points out my past failures when I didn’t know about this.”
Excuse me, it is time for a very serious REALITY CHECK: We did not know what we knew before we knew it, so how is it possible to apply it to something which happened in the past?

How to change life
As long as we view it this way, we are right, and our lives will never, change. We will be trapped by our past, and by our Perceptions of the past, and our lives will endlessly repeat the same types of things over and over again until we choose to let go of the past and begin to live the rest of our lives based on different information.
With this being so, how is it possible we have chosen to build our entire lives and self-images around such events? How is it possible we have decided to endlessly relive some thing which occurred many years ago rather than to live in the present and get on with the rest of our lives? As long as we choose to see this event, or events, as the measuring stick for our lives, we are trapped in the past and have no real chance of changing our Beliefs, or our lives, and it is all based on the Perception that Life somehow singled us out in some manner, and that whatever happened to us is who, and what, we are.
