HOW TO CHANGE EASILY AND BECOME WHOEVER YOU WANT
Change is actually very easy. You just don't understand the process. Here is how you do it flawlessly.
Ego is a mechanism whose goal is to preserve your image, your identity. If you believe you are smart, it will try to act smart, if you believe you are lazy, it will act lazy. Whoever you believe you really are, your ego will try to preserve. Do you feel the infinite possibilities it gives you? Not yet? Ok.
Everything you do now is aimed to support and defend the version of you you believe you are. And everything you want to do, try, but fail, doesn't support your believed character.
If you are trying to quit smoking or drinking, for example, you are fighting your essence — you believe that you are a smoker and a drinker, this is who you are, and your ego will try to preserve this image. Anything that doesn't support the narrative will be dismissed.
Here is the secret: create the person you want to become in your mind, imagine all the aspects of life that make that person, all the details — how he looks, what he thinks, what he wants. You are this person. Accept it and take it in fully. It's not just a thought experiment. You need to fully convince yourself that you are this character. Now the ego will have to support and defend this new character. Old ineffective habits become attacks on this new identity, so ego discards them.
This is the fastest and most effective process, and most people who achieved success used this strategy, consciously and intentionally or subconsciously and randomly.
But you can't just decide that you are an exceptional and unique individual and start believing in it. Our psyche has defenses from that too. It needs to be reprogrammed.
It is a deep topic and I'll cover it in more detail here later. Also, all the concepts necessary to change and become whoever you want, with step-by-step guides, will be available for members of Warrior's Path.
