Yesterday, I talked about the fact that for someone to have change of significance in their lives, they have to be anchored in hope. I've come to believe and I am convinced that without hope, change will not happen. If a person doesn't believe it can, then it won't.
The first step is the belief. As you believe so you behave, which leads to the first part of the M.A.P strategy - Modify your thoughts.
When you think of a map, you immediately think of a journey. It paints the picture of someone traveling from one point to another. A wise person who wants to reach a destination, will most likely map out his / her traveling directions. They will take the time to sit down and calculate their distance, making sure they have what it takes to get to their destination.
So it is with using hope as the starting point to get you to change, which is the destination. However the difficulty comes in when the thoughts or the core belief does not support such a trip. It basically says, "you can go without me".
Therefore in Modifying the Thoughts, the first requirement is that we re-evaluate the core belief. We need to look at the source of the thoughts that currently drives the belief and hence the behavior.
This will be the challenge that I will seek to take on in the next blog entry.
I do value your feedback as to your thoughts on this and every other entry. Let's continue this dialogue.
