		<description>Jason...

About 100,000 Tony Robbin clones running around singing the tune that pain TRIGGERS behavior change.  

Ur a new clone. 
And...
Tony admits he clones from others.  

Could there be a more creative and fun way that sticks in a person&#039;s craw that warms people&#039;s hearts to seeing and affecting the world better?

Then... 
Consider &quot;Humor&quot; as a trigger to affect change.

Here is such a story...

It&#039;s about a father and his son...

A father, passing by his son&#039;s bedroom, was astonished 
to see that his sonâ€™s bed was nicely made 
and everything was picked up. 

Then he saw an envelope, 
propped up prominently on the pillow.
that was addressed to... 
&#039;Dad.&#039;

With the worst premonitionâ€¦
he opened the envelope with trembling hands
and, read the letter:

Dear Dad:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I&#039;m writing you. 
I had to elope with my new girlfriend because 
I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.

I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. 
But I knew you would not approve of her because of 
all her piercing tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes 
and the fact that she is much older than I am.

Butâ€¦
it&#039;s not only the passion...
Dad, she&#039;s pregnant! 

Stacy said that we will be very happy. 

She owns a trailer in the woods 
and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. 

We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that 
marijuana doesn&#039;t really hurt anyone. 

We&#039;ll be growing it for ourselves and 
trading it with the other people 
that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.

In the meantimeâ€¦
we will pray that science 
will find a cure for AIDS so
Stacy can get better. 

She deserves it.

Don&#039;t worry, Dad. 
I&#039;m 15 and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday,
I&#039;m sure that we will be back to visit 
so that you can get to know your grandchildren.

Love,

Your son John

P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. 
I&#039;m over at Tommy&#039;s house.

I just wanted to remind you 
that there are worse things in life 
than the report card that&#039;s in my center desk drawer.

I love you.

Call meâ€¦
when it&#039;s safe to come home.

End of Story...

&quot;It is every man&#039;s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.&quot;

		<description>Hi Jason

You hit it spot on. Yes, we have to hate our pain so much that we want to change for something better, much better.

Warm regards

		<description>Great post Jason. I don&#039;t do resolutions, for the reasons you mentioned, habits don&#039;t just change because it&#039;s a new year.

		<description>I didn&#039;t like your post at first Jason but after reading through it a few times I realised you&#039;re actually totally right!

There is a lot more to changing your life than simply telling yourself you will change. You have to act on those promises. 

The New Year is supposed to be a good time to make changes but if something needs changing why wait around?

If something needs changing in your life make the commitment to yourself to change it starting right now. Don&#039;t just make a promise or resolution. Get up and do it and keep doing it!</description>

		<description>Great post Jason - you&#039;re right on the money! It&#039;s all about the decision.

Just wanting to change won&#039;t cut it - you have to make an actual decision to change and that requires reassociating pain/pleasure triggers. Something external may do this (such as when you broke up with your girlfriend) or we can use some technique (like the Dickens method, journaling, proper visualisation etc.) to do it consciously.

You know when you&#039;ve made a genuine decision because you feel it with your whole being and your whole consciousness does a 180. The old way ceases to be comfortable and just causes pain when you think about it. It&#039;s the only way to make genuine change as we&#039;re all fundamentally driven by what we associate with causing pain or pleasure. A new year&#039;s resolution is not a decision - it&#039;s a wish or desire.

Executing any change requires action and this is where the decision becomes important. Action that&#039;s in alignment with our beliefs and subconscious anchors is easy and effortless. Action that&#039;s in conflict with our beliefs and subconscious anchors is hard and almost impossible to maintain. A new year&#039;s resolution does nothing to change our beliefs and subconscious anchors whereas a genuine decision is a questioning and change of our beliefs and subconscious anchors.

So it&#039;s ultimately all about the decision.

Happy new year and may everything be great in 2008!</description>

		<description>Great post, Jason!  I might just need to come back and read this one every day!  I&#039;ve always hated resolutions, too, and I totally agree that the pain has to get bad enough for you to want to change!</description>

		<description>Excellent post, Jason. To take hatred and anger at, say, being broke and channeling that into working like heck to do whatever it takes to never be broke again, wonderful things happen. I experienced the &quot;NEVER AGAIN&quot; emotions in 2007 about being overwhelmed by debt. I&#039;m amazed at how that pain propelled me forward to take massive action.</description>
