Top 5 Tips to Create Change
The old proverb the more things change, the more they stay the same is as true today as ever before. Things in life may be more like night and day, seem vastly different, but the closer we look the more it seems that nothing changed at all. A woman leaves a man because he is weak to marry one who is perceived to be strong, only to find that nothing changed. The marriage stayed the same. This leads to:
Tip#1 - Life is not absolute - all or nothing, good or bad. Scientists have explored for years complex theories, inconsistencies and complex interactions. Then a genius comes along to throw it all out and develop something new.
Tip #2 - Keep it simple. The smartest ideas are usually simple. People try to change others through begging, pleading, manipulation or other tactics to create the desired result. After trying and trying they find nothing has changed.
Tip #3 - If you really want something to change, ask it to remain the same. What is the difference between an optimist and a pessimist? The optimist sees the glass half full, the pessimist sees the glass half empty.
Tip #4 - It's not the things that concern us as much as our opinion about these things. You can change how you view it anytime you want. Squid doesn't sound particularly appealing to me. Neither does fish eggs or raw meat sound appetizing, but I love calamari, caviar and steak tartar.
Tip #5 - Reframe it into something else. Put it into a different class. Think of the the problem in a new way.
