Change

The willingness to change is not the same as wishing you did not feel so lousy.  Sometimes we say we want to change, but what we really want is for some mood, pain, economic situation or relationship to change.  We want to enjoy a change but do not want to change our life to avoid these situations in the future.  A person wants a hangover to go away, but they do not want to stop drinking.    A person wishes their weight would change but won't stop overeating all the wrong foods.  Change that is long lasting often begins with us.
