Why most people don't change.

There is a saying by an anonymous author, which says, "Until the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changing, people will stay the same." Which means that until you are so miserable in your present condition, so tired of the way you are, you probably won't change. Why is this so? There are many reasons and most likely at the top of the list would be denial, selfishness, laziness and self-pity. Yet, it does not have to be this way. Here are some tips:

1). Realize that you have been caught in a trap of knowing the truth about change, but for a number of reasons are hoping that this negative habit will not get worse (99% of the time it will).

2). Realize that you can change but it will take a commitment that will pay off in the end.

3). Realize that change rarely happens without the help of friends, family and especially God in your life. Reach out!

4). Realize that change can occur within a short period of time. Most experts say that a new habit can form within 3 months.

Lastly, it will be painful to change, but a lot more painful to stay the same.

How to keep from becoming a statistic.

These ideas are not new, I read them somewhere and I believe they are important enough to go over and over until they become a common practice. Please remember to always lock all the doors in your vehicle, and don't leave your vehicle running. Windows of course are an easy entry point for any would be thief or hijacker so roll windows up tight, make sure they are snug. Even a crack in the window can allow easy access to the inside. Remember thieves base their crime on the amount of time to "get in" and "out". They will actually plan their "spree" on how much time it will take to make an escape, so anything in place that will cause them a delay will frustrate their plans. Another simple remedy is to install tamper proof door lock buttons. These buttons are very frustrating when time is a factor. Engraving a number on valuables will help police identify your property, and remember not to leave any valuables in plain sight, put them under a jacket, behind the seat or in the trunk. Spare keys should be hidden in a place that is hard to find, this may take some imagination. Remember time is "the factor", so don't help would be criminals by giving them an edge! http://www.personalsafetyone.com
