Reading this quote this morning, I was stunned by it. As Oprah would say, I had an Ahh-hahhh moment. Suddenly this answer had appeared to the eternal question of why we want to change something about our lives so badly yet often nothing happens. It's not just enough to want to change. Believing in the possibility of change will only get us so far. For change to happen, we must recognize that our thoughts, our feelings and our emotions are working against us, in the beginning at least. Our own bodies are actually pushing us back into the very rut was are desperately hoping to leave. I always assumed it was safe to think my heart and mind was in full alignment with my new desires, but now I realize that may not always be the case. This quote is like a football stadium light bulb going off in my brain. For the first time EVER, it is perfectly clear why we want something so badly yet often seem to sabotage our new goals, dreams and desires. Now that I know who and what I am fighting (myself), I have a much better idea of how to win the battle.
