Learning
is a part and parcel of human growth, and translating learning to action or change, and
then a habit over a period of time needs intense effort. I have had an
opportunity of observation of people who have great determination, who slip up
on either direction, or the magnitude of change they desire to bring in. When
asked to recall the slippages (from the set goals.. say losing weight…), most
of them either couldn’t even remember or sound near ignorant of the slippage
moments. On the other hand, there is this other set of individuals who conscientiously
build on the chunks toward larger agenda seem to be extremely vigilant of the
journey.
What is
very interesting is the fact that those who successfully transcend through this
journey are the latter variety. During feedback sessions, they are able to
explain every successful or unsuccessful moment. In fact many of them actually
maintain a record of what went well and what did not, and articulate it with
such conviction that their success is only a matter of time.
I could
very clearly see that such people create a clone of their own when they explain
such occurrences as if one is able to keenly observe what, when and how are the
slippages happening. The issue is not about fool proof precision on change
process, as failing on such changes is only human, but it is about superlative
ability to stay conscious of such pitfalls and not letting them recur through
awareness and control. Those who can create their clones (‘of consciousness’)
are more likely to implement changes and break comfort zones.
