Are You the Chairman of the Board of Change, Inc?

Without continual growth and progress,
such words as improvement, achievement, and success
have no meaning.            - Benjamin Franklin


This blog entry today is not based on any formal study in human behavior, nor is it based on any empirical data.  It is about the real reasons and possibilities people can change and move on with transforming their lives for the good.  It is my thought that basically, in general, people want to change if they are overweight.  I do believe people want to be healthy at healthy weight levels and they want to be well.   I did. 

When it comes to change, I think there is a fine line between wanting to change and fear of doing so. What is more important to you?  It's as if taking the plunge into change is a 50/50  thing (50% wanting to change and 50% fear of this transformation).  I thought, what would it take to make it a 51/49 % takeover in favor of change?  Where do you draw the line to move into this transformational mode? 

Let's pretend Change Inc is a company and you own 50% of it's stock shares.  You do indeed want to do a friendly takeover so you become The Chairman of the Board!  What would you do to takeover Change Inc by 1 %?  What would that 1 % be: (your reason to attempt a weight loss plan for well-being) 
Would it be for:

-Your health
-Your kids who depend on a healthy you
-Your looks
-The desire to attract a mate/relationship
-The ability wear certain clothing styles
-The ability to follow a plan
-You to get honest with yourself
-Whatever personal reason you have in order to foster healthy change

It's like this:
Companies (fear of Change) are at risk of takeovers because opposing companies (you) can purchase large amounts of their stock to gain a controlling share. (you and your desires and reasons to change)  Your company does not have to respect the feelings of the Board of Directors because you would already own and control the firm. (you as Chairman of the Board thinking positvely about doing this vs. negatively resisting to change and moving forward)

In conclusion, I do believe in all the possibilities to make our lives better, I do have the confidence we are the Chairman of the Board of our own life and we all have our reasons to "takeover" our lives!!!  Lynn
