Self-Persuasion is Best for a Lasting Change
What does it take to change yourself for a better? Actually, a better question should be “when do you realize that you have to change?” Sometimes, you are walking on the street and see some attractive people, then you tell yourself that you will be like them one day. In this case, the reason you are changing is that you want yourself to be as what people in the society think attractive, but maybe not what you want.
People have different tastes but those are usually from social trends or what the society tries to make you think that they are yours, what you like, your personal tastes. Trends also changes all the time and it might be hard to keep following all of them to keep yourself looking good. You can change your look by wearing new clothes, making up new way, or even walking more straight. However, you might get tired of it eventually and then come back to the way you were. Therefore, choosing your own styles and ways of being that you are comfortable with might be a better idea.
There are no certain principles on how people usually persuade themselves to change. You might want to ask yourself what can you get from each particular change or if the end results are attractive enough for you. It always depends on how you really want or like yourself to be. Therefore, you should follow the way that you believe or the way that can last long enough to keep you motivated to change.
For example, you are an employee who is always invisible because you are against many of your company traditions and you have no belief in them. You do what you have to do to keep your position in the company. No matter how good you do, people can see that it is not who you really are, and so ignore you. Then, you become invisible again. However, if you know that you will always get a higher bonus by always having good performance, you will be motivated and do whatever it takes regularly to change, as having much money is the goal that you are trying to achieve.
To conclude, people have different goals in life and the goal is one of the things that can persuade people to change for a better. If you set goals that really come from your mind and are attractive enough, you will keep doing everything to accomplish, and that is how you change.
