HERE IS NOT THERE III

"The world as we have created it, is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking." - Albert Einstein 

The problem, as I see it in most cases, is not change in itself, but how it is perceived. In other words, it is actually not that change is our enemy, but that we are enemies of change. To deal with this phenomenon therefore, will take us now to how change is communicated and how it is perceived.
Teenagers are much more inclined to take warnings about steroids seriously, if the drugs' muscle-building benefits are acknowledged in the same speech: say doctors at Oregon Health Sciences University. That was the case when the doctors, lectured nine high school football teams, on the effects of steroids. They found that football players who heard a balanced presentation, on steroids, were fifty percent more likely to believe that the drugs could harm their health than those who were told just of the dangers.

This isn't the only instance where scare tactics have been known to fail. In spite of a massive, ongoing campaign on the hazards of cigarette smoking, millions continue to light up. Health experts might be more successful if they acknowledged smoking's pleasurable aspects. Then once they had a smoker's attention, they could let loose on why it's time to quit.
 
The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself. It isn't change that should be worked on, but our perception: how we think of it. If your mind’s goggles aren't properly set, they will naturally omit the 'T' in 'There' and mistake it to be the same old 'Here' that you have always been at. Change is uncomfortable, but INEVITABLE. Embrace it today.
