There Is Nothing Wrong With Change, If It’s In The Right Direction. (Winston Churchill)

Change – To make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone. To transform or convert.

Wrong – Not correct in action, judgment, opinion, method, etc..  The opposite of right.

Right – In accordance with what is good, proper, or just.  In conformity with fact, reason, truth, or some standard or principle; correct.  The opposite of wrong.

Direction – A purpose or orientation toward a goal that serves to guide or motivate; focus.

Behavior – Manner of acting or controlling yourself. The aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by a person in any given situation.

Behavior and the Laws of Positioning

The Laws of Positioning are all about changing and controlling our behaviors, all in order to improve ourselves and to accomplish our goals and to fulfill our desires.

They are all about analyzing where are at, then deciding where it is we want to be. Once you know where you’re at and where you want to be, all you have to do is behave in a manner that is consistent with the achievement of your goals.

IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE.

This Is All About Control

Control – To exercise restraint or direction over; dominate; command.

The word “control” tends to have a lot of negative connotations associated with it.  I’m here to suggest otherwise.

Just because you are controlling something, you’re not necessarily harming it.

Think about it.

Parents exercise “control” over their children all the time.  When the children are young and inexperienced, that can be a good thing, as it keeps their children out of danger and steers them in the right direction.  In effect, this is guidance.

Guidance – Advice or counseling.    Supervised care or assistance.

When their children become older, too much control can be a bad thing, as it prevents their children from learning how to exercise their own self-control.

So, when dealing with others, there needs to be an appropriate balance between guidance and control.

For the rest of this post, we’re going to talk about controlling ourselves (self-control), as opposed to controlling others.

What Is “Self” – Control?

Self – Your own individuality.  A person or thing referred to with respect to complete individuality.

I ask you a question here:

Who is in the best position to “control” / guide you?

The answer is simple.  You are!

I’m going to expand on this more in my next post and we’re going to talk about what we should be using our unconscious mind as a method of “self-control” to accomplish our goals.
