#310 - Changing Ourselves: What, Why, and How

We can’t improve if we don’t change. Self-development is change. Remember that we need to know three things to improve: where we are, where we want to go, and how to get there. Change is the very process by which we get from where we are to where we want to be.

But change is hard. If it were easy, all of us would be Stoic sages, living in virtue and harmony. So what is the nature of change? And why do so many of us know, on some level, that there are things about us that we need to modify, yet we fail to do so?

Topics:

• The Need for Change
• The Nature of Change
• Positive Change Requires Intention
• The Difficulty of Personal Change
• The Influence of Social Media
• Fear of the Unknown
• The Comfort of Familiarity
• The Process of Change
