A wise man once said that the definition of insanity is doing things the same way all the time and still expect a different result.
I was listening to the audio CD of “Why We Want You To Be Rich” authored by Robert Kiyosaki And Donald Trump. One of the main lessons I drew from the audio is that Change is all about state; you can't get to where you want to be without leaving where you are. If you want to become rich then you have to decide and leave everything that is or has to do with poverty.
Everything has to change; mediocrity, shallow thinking; irresponsibility; lack of vision; lack of perseverance; inability to read and analyze situation for a better decision. If you don’t like where you are or what you are doing then you must be prepared to do what would take you to the place you want to be.
However, I realized that even though change is desirable yet it is most resisted. Why? There is no change without pain. Most people cannot afford the pain of change yet they want to experience new things. And the fact is that you will have to give up something for some things to come into your life. For instance, you might need to give up a childhood friendship for a new one before you can move ahead in life.
How Do You Change?
You Must Desire It
The first thing you can do is that you must desire to change. A burning desire to change is the first to get you out of your comfort zone and the level of mediocrity. You must have strong reasons to want to change your state. For instance, everyone wants to be wealthy but only few actually have reasons that make them desire wealth. This desire is what propel them to take actions that finally brought them the desires of their hearts.

Know Where You Are Going
Another thing for change to occur is that you must have a clear picture of where next you want to be; what next you want have; who next you want to meet and so on. The reason many people are not making considerable change in their lives is because of a blur vision of where they want to be or what they want to have. Brian Tracy once said, "You can hit a target if you don't know what it is"
It could not be better said than that.
Discard Any Fear You Have About Change
Change is a natural phenomenon that should not be feared. do you know we changed everyday. Are you the same person you were yesterday? A week ago? A month? Are you still crawling as you were a baby? You see what I mean? The best way to handle change is to regard it as a part and parcel of our daily life occurence.
What you should fear is your fear to explore the virgin land of treasures that lie at the other side of your fear.
Finally, look around you today, those who are succeeding are those who are not afraid to engage in new things; the highly adventurous in our society. Civilization and all its attending technological benefits are made possible by those men who are not afraid to try new things. Men that are not afraid of failure because they know that failure is not a destination.
Change is inevitable. You Must Desire It
