Motive
What is your motive to change? Change is hard. Without strong motives, change always fails. I’m in the beautiful country of Kosovo this week. Lots of people still smoke and eat meaty diets. But I have a relation here who gave up smoking (not easy) because they are having a baby. Strong motive. And I have a friend here who became vegan (also not easy), driven by compassion for animals and passion for nature. Strong motives. Change only happens when our motive to change is stronger than the inertia of our habits, culture and beliefs. Motives go deeper.
