Get Off The Fence

Many have the desire to change but they find it difficult to see the progress.  Why?  It is because they fail to take the necessary action.  In order to create a new program for your brain to follow there must be action.  You can have the greatest future picture statement in the world and it won't do you a bit of good if you allow yourself to fall prey to the grand fallacy that sabotages many addicts' dreams.THE GRAND FALLACY: Six frogs sat on a lily pad.  One decided to jump off.  How many were left? If you answered "five," congratulations!  Your capacity for analytical reasoning is in good shape.  Unfortunately, that is not the correct answer.  The correct answer is "six."That's right:  All six frogs are still sitting on that lily pad.  Why?  Because one only decided to jump off - he didn't actually do any jumping.  - John Assaraf "Seize the very first possible opportunity to act on every resolution you make, and on every emotional prompting you may experience in the direction of the habits you aspire to gain.  It is not in the moment of their forming but in the moment of their producing motor effects, that resolves and aspirations communicate the new "set" to the brain." - William James
