“It
is easier to find men who would volunteer to die, than to find those who are
willing to endure pain with patience” – Julius Caesar
It
is common to see people exhibiting extreme comportments. Some do not care, or
dare, to change till something externally forces them to change, while the
others who are anxious for change and expect to change behaviours faster than
anything they have done in life. While the former do not initiate actions at
all waiting for the self-defined ‘opportune’ time, the latter apparently start
very fast (with or without ‘action’, or ‘doing’), searching for
short cuts and facing disappointments, only to give up on the change effort.
Learning
is a slow process, and in coaching one attempts to change sticky behaviours and
patterns developed over time that have been rehearsed, reinforced and lived
with, for long time. They are tried, tested and considered ever relevant as
they pierce into comfort zones, and become what we call, beliefs. It is
extremely important to be patient with change, and that requires conscious
effort, consistent determination, high awareness, measurement and self-
control. Change breaks comfort zones, causes discomfort in many aspects
(Physical, mental, emotional, social and sometimes financial) and pushes one
back very hard towards the comfort zone, which is backward movement.
Only
those who can be patient and persevere through the process of change can
successfully change or replace the pre-existing subconscious programs. Change
takes time. Accepting reality and setting realistic goals certainly keeps one
on track, and not lose sight of the greener pastures in the result zone. It is
only the effort zone that people need to navigate with perseverance and
practice.
