4. Change
You cannot step into the same river twice.
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to
preserve change amid order.
To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to
go on creating oneself endlessly
Change is moving away from status quo
To replace with another.

or feeling is not right.

overcome the resistance to change

learnt in the past is no longer working for us

24. Key Points in Successful
personal Change
The hardest thing to change is a hardening of attitudes;
nothing kills change faster than attitudes that resist it.
Failure stems from two sets of works: "I can’t" and "Yes,
but…"
Those adept at change don’t reject good advice just to prove
they aren’t being controlled by those who give it.

25. Key Points in Successful
personal Change
Complaining is good if it isn’t a substitute for action – but
often it is.
High self-esteem results from making small positive changes
in spite of fear. Confidence comes from conquering fear of
change.
Unexpected pain can result from huge setbacks
